A throng of Hollywood celebrities, including Academy Award-winning director Lee Daniels, Law & Order: Organized Crime star Chris Meloni, and actor John Leguizamo, many of them multi-millionaires made rich and famous thanks to the blessings afforded to them in America, crapped all over the country and sent somber social media sermons to their followers on Independence Day.
“I woke up sad this morning and frustrated as I’m sure many of you must have,” Daniels said in an Instagram video, adding that he’s not celebrating Independence Day this year because “there’s nothing to celebrate.”
“Make America Great Again are the four most dangerous words ever to hit America,” Daniels continued, adding that they were “never great for anybody except for the white man.”
Meloni posted a meme showing President George Washington holding the U.S. Constitution while standing next to Jesus Christ. “It’s like they didn’t listen at all,” Washington to says to Christ, who replies “Bro, same.”
Leguizamo, star of Apple TV+’s latest drama Smoke, posted a video to Instagram, captioning it with “Sad day for America as Latinos have fought in every war America has ever had! 10,000 unknown Latino patriots fought in the American revolution!” He continued “We are the sons and daughters of the American revolution and thousands of Latino immigrants are in detention centers as we celebrate,” conflating the illegal immigrants being arrested and detained with, as he said, “Innocent mothers, fathers sons and daughters whose only crime was looking for a better life while being Latino!”
Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer’s post included a photo of him with a massive flag behind him, which read “No Kings in America.”
Have a joyful Independence Day, y’all!
Do it to spite the president and the Republicans who are trying so hard to damage our nation
we will rebuild

Actor-comedian Michael Ian Black promoted an article and compared America to the dystopian hellscape of the movie Mad Max.
I’m sour on my nation because the nation has soured on itself. As a people, we’ve decided to dissolve the uneasy bonds of comity between us. Rather than writing a peaceful sequel to the bloody 20th century, America began work on the prequel to “Mad Max.”
