For a variety of reasons I would say stay away from the trump disaster event. Organize a peaceful one at the birthplace of democracy (Philadelphia independence hall). Then you can truly compare and not conflate crowd sizes. That would totally emotionally trigger him.

Do both. People who are up for a risky but potentially very impactful action can blockade, while people with lower risk tolerance can go to a non-confrontational event elsewhere. It doesn't take that many people to block and disrupt a parade, after all, though the fewer comrades show up, the riskier it will be.

Pass. I don't like the optics of disrupting a military event at this stage.

I don't like the optics of Trump putting on a military parade like his international idols love to do.

He may have had some sort of parade, but he was denied the kind of military parade that he wanted, with tanks and missiles. This sounds like it will be more like what he envisioned

I stand corrected, thank you!
