What’s hotter than an entire Independence Day fireworks show? Why, a Bill Kristol hot take, of course!
And because Bill Kristol just isn’t capable of taking a day off, he’s come up with a real gem for July 4, 2022.
OK, well, technically he wrote this on July 3, 2022, but it’s all about Independence Day, so it’s still worth highlighting and discussing:
July 4th is the anti-MAGA holiday: It stands for equal rights, consent of the governed, leaders with honor, and the belief we can help others enjoy these rights and secure government by consent of the governed. As the key American holiday, July 4th stands against 'America First.'

Is that a take, or is that a take?
If you had told me 5 years ago that I would one day retweet Bill Kristol, I would have laughed in your face, but here we are. https://t.co/bWHRNAc1po

Unless you’re retweeting him ironically today, we’re laughing in your face, Kyle.
What ????? https://t.co/f69yvkDhkX

You heard him.
Is this a drunk-tweet? https://t.co/ro4NgJXvZe

Honestly, we’re not sure if there’s actually a way to tell. Bill always sounds like this now. It’s entirely possible that he’s always drunk. That would certainly explain why he seems to see Donald Trump hiding in every closet and under every bed.
Rent free, man. Rent free.

It’s sad, really. A self-proclaimed Principled Conservative™ who is entirely lacking in conservative principles. Now that we think about it, that’s actually one thing that we can blame Donald Trump for: if Trump hadn’t sought out and won the presidency, poseurs like Bill Kristol might not have been exposed until a few years later. Trump actually did us quite a favor in that respect.
Anyway, back to Kristol’s stupid tweet:
Holy f*ck on a pogo stick, the optics on your tweet are beyond cringe.

“Beyond cringe” is right. If Bill Kristol had any self-awareness, he’d be cringing right along with us. But you know he’s just sitting there, patting himself on the back, congratulating himself on getting America completely wrong just in time for Independence Day.
If not America, which country should we put first, Bill? https://t.co/Grfod5almy

"The consent of the governed" he says, as his ilk work on ways to disenfranchise rural voters by destroying the Senate and the Electoral College, all in the name of the regime's corporate empire. https://t.co/WjfYB853n9

You know, they actually wrote a document explaining it…
Pretty sure it had nothing to do with nation-building. https://t.co/TIiIdUuFbq

If there's one thing the colonists were really upset about, it was that ol' King George wouldn't embroil them in European wars. https://t.co/uvT7nSrvtQ

July 4th is the holiday when we are reminded that our ancestors rebelled over far less grievous insults than our current elite impose upon us. https://t.co/vEaFLDWJPs

Not that you needed another reminder not to take Bill Kristol seriously as a serious person, but here you are, just in case.
Long TDS is real. https://t.co/eXqCeqJdSI

It’s real, and it’s spectacular … ly pathetic.
