The military parade will be a dictatorial abomination
This is not the fucking Soviet Union.
Military parades are what dictators do.
Try to whatabout this away, MAGA dotards.

Of course the MAGA cult idiots would defend this
Fucking morons
Dictators like Washington, Polk, Johnson, Wilson, Eisenhower, Kennedy, H.W. Bush.
Not saying I support it. But, I'm not rushing to condemn it either. Granted, I don't know any details about it.
Ticker-tape parades are not military parades, King Whatabout.

Inaugurations are not ticker tape parades.
American has survived military parades of all types. Still no dictators.
Didn’t 5 of 7 win wars that a parade was in connection with? Captain Bonespurs hasn’t cept for his
own personal war against VD according to him. The other 2 were not military but inaugural parades.
Each president up through Polk had them. Zachary Taylor ended the regular tradition.
After that, they were special cases at the discretion of the President. Cold War brought them back for a brief period.
At least, that is what the internet told me. So, it must be true. (2020 dated source before this became so contentious. Don't have the link now, though.)
If Trump is successful, he won't have a war to celebrate. We can only hope for that.
45 million dollars worth of fluffer waste to satisfy a wannabe despot.
Kristi Noem could get a third Gulfstream for that.
Your reason against it is wrong. Celebration with military parade is not just a Soviet thing. French
July 14 military parade is much older than Soviet military parade. Trump actually is inspired by Champs-Elysees parade after watching it. It will unite our country which is badly needed now.
Of course you love military parades.

He’s marched in them.

knowing trump’s propensity for understanding history - š no he hasn’t a clue about historical
events. - heās likes that Putin and Kim jong Un have military parades to show how tough they are - Emperor big dick swagger stuff. He wants to show his parade is bigger and better. He is never leaving the Whitehouse alive.
we'll have many more years of him after his term is up.
Our nation honors those who serve but not intimidating militarism.
The French can't intimidate anyone.
Maybe the Belgians?

You must love those archaic Nukes they schlep thru Red Square... even if they probably don't work.

We haven't tested our nukes in what, 35 years?...some of them much longer.

We spend more maintaining them than Russia spends on its entire military.
Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy had thousands of troops at their inaugurations.
Eisenhower's inauguration boasted tanks and jeeps and warplanes.
Somehow, America survived.
Hmm, the Soviets and the French. Hard pass.

It's pure "camp!"
I also have no idea why I somehow posted several times below from my phone.
The “drag parade” that Baron imagines would be camp
A military parade is fascism.
“No parade for military’s 250th Anniversary! That would be fascist!”…
ā¦or it would be you using hyperbole because of your TDS
Your tantrum brings me back to 2008 when Obama had just won the election and Dem activist military critic Ron Silver shouted out in glee as jets soared by overhead āthose are our planes now!ā (Ironically in what you now define as a fascist display).
You are fine when itās your radical tribe in power. Not when itās Trump. Itās that simple.
It's not fascist if the population does not see it this way.
Those who hurl the "fascist" moniker at Trump have zero appreciation for what real fascism is.
Even MAGA fanatics are rank amateur fascists.
We are not Putin's Russia.
It's like calling our "Progressives" Communists.
Jesus. No population sees it what way.
The Russians think they live in a democracy. Eli thinks they do too.
The Chinese think they have a democracy.
Everyone thinks that authoritarianism canāt come to their country.
Remember D Ron Silver’s”Those are our planes now!”? It’s pure tribalism.
Heād have no problem with the parade if Obama was president - guaranteed.
It's a Celebration of The United States Army's 250th Anniversary.

Bullshit. It’s a military parade, Soviet-style. And it’s unamerican.

You are being DNC ridiculous. It's a parade, not a live fire war exercise.

Pride in US military is not a comfortable concept for those who loathe the military.But drag parades
at children's events? No problem there.

Much simpler ways to celebrate a President’s birthday.
I gather the GOP deficit hawks will express their outrage.
I also gather it will be mandatory attendance for his Cabinet.

I’m totally against it. Trump truly wants to be like Putin and Xi
