The site America250.org, home of the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission, an effort authorized by Congress in 2016, sure seems extra peachy about July 4th, 2026 definitely happening. They surely wouldn’t put a countdown clock there if they thought the next four years, 8 months, and 22 days would go off without a hitch… right? Of course they probably won’t end up just quietly letting the page return a “404 NOT FOUND” error because there more likely wouldn’t even be an internet at all should that come to pass. At least an internet as we know it now. If any official “America250” t-shirts made they most likely will end up being worn on the big day and not end up being torn into strips and used as tourniquets in a grungy, makeshift field hospital outside the fallout zone somewhere in Fairfax County, Virginia. Definitely less than 50/50 chance on that one.
