    Don’t show up, even to protest. He’ll just say everyone showed up for him. Let him have his audience-less parade like a retarded North Korean despot.

      how about a nearby protest with the goal of gathering more people than the parade itself? that would piss him off

        A protest with signs that point out how much trump hates the military would be good.

        This is the correct response.

        ETA: and I strongly suspect this will happen somehow. So, his birthday is June 14th, so those who can should start making plans to be in DC around then (actual day of parade may be different, so don’t lock in specific dates until there’s more info).

        Meanwhile, get ready for your local May 1st protests. (More locations will be certainly be added to that map as the day gets closer).

        And until then, there are lots more opportunities to get out and protest.

          How protesty!


          Tangent!

          Hey are you able to use their map on mobile without issue? It’s the worst I’ve used in years. It might treat one finger like two, or none at all. Too tired to email them right now but certainly whack on the latest iOS on a new phone.

        Would a protest that involves protesters blocking the parade from moving result in an american tiananmen square?

          why would i want to stop Trump of making a fool of himself towards the civilized world? when we can troll him on the issue he cares the more about, after grifting: crowd sizes

          Better to protest in peace and ignore the parade. Just drawing a larger crowd and some good media attention will troll him enough. Concentrate on signs showing ways the money could have been used for good.

        Some people are mentally deficient. Trump shares some common traits with them. That’s the way the world is. You don’t need to police other people’s comparisons.

            I understand why you think it’s not OK to say and I disagree. Call that what you like. It makes no difference to me.

                It’s not bait to say that I think you’re distracting from an important conversation by trying to play morality police on behalf of a group of people who didn’t ask for help restricting the language used on the internet. You took that upon yourself and decided that this was the time to try to shame everyone else into thinking the same way you do. Quit virtue signaling about ancillary bullshit and get pissed at your government.
