The Bulwark Daily · Eddie Glaude: Don't Let MAGA Own America's 250th Anniversary · 26 May 2026 podcast

whether it's the centennial or the 150th or the bicentennial or now, the country has to tell a story about itself.

And it has to tell a story about its founding.

And in each of these milestone anniversaries, it confronts the vexing question of what do we do with race?

How do we tell a story about who we are as Americans with the reality of race pressing in upon us?

So the centennials, 1876, reconstruction is collapsing.

the sesquicentennial, the 150th.

This is the decade of the Klan, right?

This is the period in which the Klan has an outsized influence on our politics.

In 1976, this is Vietnam, this is Watergate, this is Black Power, this is the women's movement, right?

The country.

seems to be at each other's throat.

And then now, here we are in 2026, where you hear the language of blood and soil from the likes of J.D.

Vance and others, and Trump has meld, has kind of combined the celebration of the country with the celebration of himself and MAGAism.

And so I want to tell a story about this, right?

That at the heart of these celebrations is the contradiction.

right, that the country's divided soul is on full view, that the double consciousness that has often been attributed to Black folk, that we see ourselves through the eyes of those who despise us, is actually a consequence of the double consciousness at the heart of the nation.

That is to say, America imagines itself at once, Tim,

as a beacon of freedom and as a white republic.

And because you can't hold those two things together without contradiction, it deposits a kind of madness at the heart of the country that generates these cycles that we see in a telescoped way during these anniversaries.

And so here we are just, we're barreling towards July 4th.
