(72,388 posts)it was rly smart for us to stay away on j6. i think we shd stay away, and protest everywhere else.
i dont want to give in to the fear that they wd fire on protesters, but
.
but i think the thing is for NO ONE to come. a crowd is a crowd, and theyll lie about who was there and y. let him look out on an empty mall. and let there be so many protests across the country that the media cant help but cover it.

(11,580 posts)Beside it being the 250th Birthday of the Army, it's also Flag Day. I look at DJT's participation in any of the celebration as a desecration of our Military and Old Glory. He's made it perfectly clear what he thinks of our soldiers and Veterans and even POWs. If he had two cells in his brain, he wouldn't want to be anywhere near this gigantic festive Military celebration. But he doesn't. So he will be there somewhere trying to steal the thunder of 250 yrs of blood, sweat and tears, pretending that everyone is cheering for him. What'd they say, it was going to stretch all way down to Alexandria, Virginia, 7 miles or so? The crowd will cheer alright until he comes rolling along, and then the cheers will turn to boo's or dead silence with fists in the air.
