    One big protest can easily be shut down. Split this into dozens of protests at different intersections and the cops will be hopelessly outnumbered at every location.

    Curious to see how unglued this country gets after pissing on Trump’s parade, I have a feeling we’re in for quite a treat

    From Wichita, I know we’ve got a few hundred fired up and ready. The last protest that had this much momentum here was George Floyd. But this time it’s so dangerous. To say I’m scared is an understatement.

      Trump said protestors would be met by force several times. Of course using his 3rd grade level of English: “big force”, “huge force”, etc

    I seriously hope his parade becomes a big farce. Its already a symbol for so much of his bullshit. If it barely makes it anywhere and becomes a circus, I might buy a cake to celebrate.

      No doubt something will go wrong. At all levels this administration is monstrously incompetent. They probably had Chatgpt plan the parade route.

      One of my theories is that he’ll cancel it due to “civil unrest” and try to throw more armed forces at it.

        Nah he has been wanting a military parade since 2016 so his ego is to a degree riding on this. If it gets cancelled for any reason he will be pissed, heres hoping as many troops as possible pass out from heat exhaustion. Especially those who were voluntold.

        It sure would be a shame if, in the bravest act of bravery so far this century, a few patriotic soldiers were to steal some demolition munitions and take out a bridge along the parade route, the night before the parade is to start. Sure would be a shame.

    Also the anniversary of an important attempt to liberate the Dominican Republic from Trujillo, a fascist dictator who was propped up by the USA.
