"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions, rebuking Trump
You're viewing a single thread.
I attended the Warped Tour 30th anniversary festival in DC instead of giving Trumps dumbass military parade any attention. Does that count as a protest?
And DC was barricading the shit out of the parade route the day before, almost expecting a riot to occur.
Trump was begging for violence yesterday. Any excuse to send troops in. He got jack shit. It was a good day.
I love America and its service men and women. They deserve a parade and acknowledgment. But not a parade masked as a tyrants bday.
thats fine but then screw the equipment and uniforms. Appreciate them as people.
Okay but here me out, a military parade where they can wear anything they want so long as it was at some point a uniform of their branch. IE if someone in the Navy wants to dress in a Barbary war era uniform let them. I want to see what bullshit people could dig up.
no way man. we are celebrating these people. why inflict restrictions on them when we are honoring them. Im fine with those who want to wearing their uniforms.
You misunderstand me, the ONLY restriction is that it has to have been a uniform from their branch at some point. In theory depending on the branch you could have people dressed up as basically NCR rangers from Fallout New Vegas, I basically want to harness the controlled chaos of Halloween but with military uniforms.
Zouaves!
I really did not misunderstand. I want the people we are celebrating to wear anything at all they want with zero restriction. jeans and t-shirt, nice dress, uniform, whatever. If we are celebrating them then it only makes sense they do what they want to do. Attendance should not be mandatory but there should be nice perks for them if they come like food and drink and maybe a bit of swag gift bags. Let them self organize things they want to do like a school talent show. Maybe some play instruments and maybe some like the pugilist stuff they do a little choreographed presentation as they go. Let them design floats as they like and provide enough resoures to do this stuff.
Fair enough, like I said this is only interesting to me from a "What could people dig up" and controlled chaos type of way. I'm too much of an autist to like the concept of more than 10 people in a certain radius, so the concept of big events with lots of people makes me instinctually want to go out into the desert and shoot myself.
In hindsight maybe I shouldn't have made my initial comment. Parades aren't my thing, dusty history volumes and story telling is. Also every parade I've been to has resulted in me hating every second or annoyed disinterest as I figure out how to get out of social obligations.
mainly I just don't want the us doing these bs show of power stunts that are all to common in facist states.
Ay now that is something we can certainly agree on. Personally I wish to lash every weak ass removed who pushed for this fucking parade to a cross, either that or hang em from the damned street lights.
Exactly. No need to roll out the tanks for it
Yeah, the city of DC tried hard to ignore his stupid parade. Instead they protested peacefully. <3
