What kind of mental spelunking is that?
Because there is a difference between a blanket celebration that includes everyone, and specifically celebrating one group.
Ofc, there is a difference. But that difference is not in where you think it is.
If you celebrate it for everyone, you celebrate that for every individual. You don't create a group in your head. If you would celebrate it for republicans, you would create a group in your head and it would be less about the individual. But importantly, republicans are individuals and the celebration for everyone includes those individuals. The coverage for republicans would be as much celebrated as the coverage for potato farmers. But I don't think anyone would be insisting that democrats didn't celebrate that potato farmers get aca, outside of silly linguistical reasons.
Put the shovel down.
