Kim Kardashian did not throw a lavish Independence Day party this year as The Kardashians star shared a post to her Instagram Story saying that the 4th of July is canceled. The holiday is meant to celebrate the day the Declaration of Independence was ratified; however, in recent years, many Americans have felt far less patriotic than they have in the past. For example, for a few years, superstar Taylor Swift made headlines annually for her huge 4th of July bash that took place at her beachside home in Rhode Island. The parties featured A-list guests like models Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne and singer Ed Sheeran. Taylor's parties came to an end after 2016 when Donald Trump won the presidential election, and the star admitted that with his discriminatory attitude, she no longer felt like celebrating a country run by such a hateful administration.
The lack of desire to celebrate the 4th of July worsened in 2020 after Americans spent most of June protesting police brutality after the devastating murder of George Floyd. A few weeks ago, the Supreme Court made the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade after nearly 50 years of its existence. Women everywhere have already been put in danger, and as their rights are stripped away, Americans are finding it hard to make time to celebrate a country that isn't as free as it claims to be.
