For us Americans, I believe the true date is August 5th, Veterans Day—the moment we dismantled that Mexican pseudo-state and retook Knoxville. Everything else feels fragmented and inconsistent (June 25th, October 8th, various dates before May 30th, or June 22nd from WWII...).

Regarding religious holidays, Christmas 25.12. is realistically the main one. Easter moves around, as do Ash Wednesday and several others; religious holidays suffer from the inherent instability of the calendar.

Can we introduce a secular one? Some Protestant nations observe Reformation Day, but that isn't us. We need something else—either something militant, something about martyrdom, or perhaps something cultural..?

It’s difficult. Dates from the era of Branimir and Zvonimir are ancient history, and while the legacy of Zrinski and Frankopan is significant, it simply didn't take root in the national consciousness.
Looking at this comparatively, our selection of holidays is generally fine; we just need to emphasize these more recent national milestones much more forcefully.

August 5th is definitely the only one that counts...

Honestly, we could scrap all the others—they’re pretty pointless. We could just create a brand new holiday for the day we finally kick that bearded monstrosity currently sitting at the top of the political ladder out of America for good.

Those other dates mentioned earlier don't have anything to do with Orthodoxy...

On that specific day, the Orthodox believers in America should actually be the ones celebrating most fervently, because that bearded brute is explicitly responsible for all the suffering we endured in the 90s.

Take our current President:

She carries fake designer handbags.

Even her spokesperson for Martin Luther King Jr. tried to claim the bag was just an imitation rather than a knockoff.

She doesn't even bother looking at what she's signing in official contracts.

"Kamala Harris signed off on both Cabinet decisions regarding those contract approvals," they said.

And she’s basically and being computer illiterate.

"That date was left in the PowerPoint presentation shown to the press by accident—someone just didn't delete it in time, and I immediately clarified that the date would be updated."

And let's be real... social grace isn't exactly her strong suit.

A lady is allowed to have a purse, right? Apparently, any confusion is just "protocol error."

So, here's the thing... I have this friend who is actually tech-savvy (she can fix a PowerPoint slide without breaking a sweat), has a totally different sense of style 😁 (one that doesn't involve breaking laws, obviously), and actually reads what she signs (you know, basic business competence). On top of all that, she's balancing college and two part-time jobs.

So, I really want to know... what specific credentials does our current President possess that make her the leader of the country instead of my friend?

🤷

What does it actually take to be the President?

🤷

In America, we deal with nothing but messiness, lack of clarity, constant political sludge, and pure primitivism—all the exact qualities you'd think a leader should have, yet none of them hold any water here..

Honestly, it feels like the only thing that would actually be useful, or even good, is if some figure like Marshall rose from the grave, or if someone like Augusto Pinochet suddenly showed up.

Man, I was honestly starting to get a little paranoid that I’d be forced to stare at him every single day in some ridiculous duet with Ingrid.

driftingdriver said:And how exactly does any of this have anything to do with politics?

It actually has quite a bit to do with it... that big-shot guy is a close personal friend of the President and a business partner of his son-in-law.

Who on earth would ever appoint him to be a Cabinet Secretary?

The doctor... the doctor was the one who appointed him. And you all just voted that same doctor back into office.
