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 😬 "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."

@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.
