Politics Where’s the Hype For America250? We’re not the nation we were just 50 years ago. America has a big birthday this summer, but the nation doesn’t seem that hyped for it. The Bicentennial 50 years ago was a huge event , with TV networks running specials to honor the occasion and small towns across the country organizing massive spectacles.

(Photo by Luke Johnson/Getty Images) In the leadup to Thomas Massie’s primary defeat last week, I was struck by how popular the Kentucky congressman had suddenly become among people who don’t vote in Republican primaries—indeed, among people who don’t like Republicans, don’t like Kentucky, and until the day before yesterday never liked Thomas Massie. This, I thought, didn’t augur well for the congressman’s reelection, which would depend on actual Republicans voting in the Republican primary. The results were worse than I would have guessed, however: a 10-point blowout.…Open
