You can debunk fascism on Twitter. You can debate it in editorials. But if you do not crush it when it marches, it will one day draft your sons.
@Daojoan We need to remember how fascism was beaten in the past: with guns and bullets and self-defense-violence.

@Daojoan 😬 "The U.S. Army is reportedly planning a massive military parade for its 250th anniversary, which happens to fall on Trump’s birthday in June. The AP reported last week that a potential parade would call for more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles & 50 helicopters.

Fox News … reported that the estimated cost of a military parade could be between $25 million & $45 million."

Is Trump throwing himself a birthday bash?

@deborahh @Daojoan Supposedly, the parade is not ***FOR*** #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump's birthday. It's to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the #USA military. However, #TheOrangeMenace has subverted the occasion to make it about him.
@sloanlance @Daojoan … and we really believe that, right? ❌

@deborahh @Daojoan I don't know! 🤷

If the anniversary of the founding of the #USA military is soon, planning for its celebration should have been in progress for many months or a few years already. It's not like the date would be a surprise.

In the environment around the #Trump regime, many things must be taken with great skepticism.

If somebody could show proof that the celebration had been in planning long before #TheOrangeMenace won the election, then we would know.

@deborahh @Daojoan Yes, and similar to what we see from North Korea, I simply don't think that country's democracy can survive what Trump is doing. There is no one stopping him, all the puppets (republicans) in the two chambers have left all the power to him.
@deborahh @Daojoan Don't attend. Don't watch.
@Ponygirl @Daojoan I'm afraid for the people who will attend in protest. 😰
@Daojoan
I don't think you can debunk it on Twitter...
@Daojoan we thought we had crushed it in 1945. For a while at least. But back it came, like the proverbial bad penny
