The bully will keep tormenting and taking until something or someone stops it. Permanently. Meanwhile, I put my attention on your Anthem and what Robert Hubbell recommends: Let’s spend less time speculating about what Trump might do and more time planning what we will do to reclaim democracy. Why do we like parades? Because it gives us something to cheer about. The work at hand then, may be to organize, build, create something worth cheering for that benefits everyone instead of destroying.

OMG I hadn't even thought about how “good people on both sides” will show up for that event. I certainly wouldn't take my family to see that parade - or to even be in the same town with it. I know! Let him have a parade and the only folks who show up are the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Everyone else can be in local protest marches. That way the "good people" of his cults can have the show all to themselves.

That sounds good, but with all the surveillance around his parade, military might could get carried away against protesters, inventing a reason to arrest, detain, injure, maim, or even kill them, because they posed a supposed threat to DJT.

I can just imagine the cluster fluff that whole circus act is going to be. I think I will be busy doing something else that day. Anyone who attends will join the FAFO group.

FAFO means what? Does not sound like anyone I want to ask to dinner.

FAFO is F@ck Around and Find Out - the karmic motto for the Republican Administration as they realize they've shot themselves in both feet

Marching to our own kind of music somewhere else sounds like an excellent, positive, and actionable plan.
