Why the antidote to this year’s 4th of July could be Instagram.

@thatdoodlechewie Living his best life

If you’re like me and went online or listened to the radio or turned on the television this morning, you might have thought you should have paid more attention to “The Handmaids Tale” and now it’s too late to move to Canada.

Because for the first time in our history July 4th, the holiday we set aside to celebrate America and her independence and the beginning of a great new experiment in an individual’s right to pursue happiness, is being celebrated on the National Mall with armored tanks, three times as many National Guards, and VIP tickets allocated to “at least some of our President’s political boosters” And it will all be financed with almost 2.5 million dollars of funding that was supposed to be earmarked for our National Parks. National Parks! Isn’t that like America’s Vatican?

Wherever you stand on this President, Red or blue, you have to admit this is a difficult time in America. But not if you’re a dog. Especially an Instagram Dog.

The Doggos of Instagram will make you proud to be an American again.
