    Don’t show up, even to protest. He’ll just say everyone showed up for him. Let him have his audience-less parade like a retarded North Korean despot.

      how about a nearby protest with the goal of gathering more people than the parade itself? that would piss him off

        Would a protest that involves protesters blocking the parade from moving result in an american tiananmen square?

        This is the correct response.

        ETA: and I strongly suspect this will happen somehow. So, his birthday is June 14th, so those who can should start making plans to be in DC around then (actual day of parade may be different, so don’t lock in specific dates until there’s more info).

        Meanwhile, get ready for your local May 1st protests. (More locations will be certainly be added to that map as the day gets closer).

        And until then, there are lots more opportunities to get out and protest.

          Better to protest in peace and ignore the parade. Just drawing a larger crowd and some good media attention will troll him enough. Concentrate on signs showing ways the money could have been used for good.
