#4 It marks the day indigenous Mexican forces defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla. It's not even a national holiday in Mexico. It was used as a marketing gimmick to sell Mexican themed beer in the US.

#10 I just did a Related search on Cinco de Mayo, only to discover that in 2017 Philadelphia did exactly the same thing.

But not since. So it’s clearly a first year of the term reaction. We can look forward to the same happening again the first year of whoever wins for the Republicans four years from now.

Seriously, if this were an activist point, wouldn't they want to go double, show how great it is?
