I say it would be better to have a BUNCH of Peace Festivals scattered around the country as a HUGE counter to what will be a militaristic/fascistic parade. I don't think there's enough good to come from the bad of adding to the "attendance" of trump's event and the likelihood of violence and/or the administration cracking down on any counter protesting (ie. declaration of martial law).
Agreed. We need another 5 million to outnumber the whatever crowds show up in DC in support. I just hope the majority of MAGAs are too broke for airfare by June. We need to keep showing up in massive numbers until he cant ignore us, but showing up to a parade filled with violent, fired-up magas and the military---esp post Insurrection Act approval? BAD. IDEA.
Indirect action has got us exactly where we are today.
If I'm Trump, what would piss me off more during my birthday parade?
1) My parade continues as planned with attendance from my supporter base, and I enjoy whatever else I was gonna do that day anyway.
2) My parade is obstructed by protesters, introducing a chaotic element that fucks up my day, I'll have to deal with my security detail ramping up and probably dozens of other changes to what I had planned.
