America is turning 250, and the ruling class is preparing to celebrate the Constitution by continuing to ignore it.
In this episode of Metamodernism Uncensored, the hosts unpack Sean Dempsey’s savage essay on America 250: a birthday party for a Republic drowning in debt, undeclared wars, executive overreach, and political hypocrisy. The Founders warned us against exactly this, yet the politicians who quote them most loudly are often the first to trample their principles!
From war powers and fiscal bloat to Thomas Massie being vilified for taking the Constitution seriously, this episode asks the uncomfortable question: can America still celebrate itself without lying to itself?
The Right wants reverence without repentance. The Left wants critique without gratitude. A metamodern patriotism demands something harder: truthful love.
