    All bets are off at this point, but the “No Kings” event planners have made a point of avoiding that by steering things away from the fascist birthday cabaret performance scheduled for the same date in DC.

      Probably a good idea, because if they are at the parade, Trump will boast that the crowd sizes were the biggest yet. Better to show in numbers how many people oppose him without Fox News being able to spin it as a pro-Trump rally

        I think that’s exactly it. A worst-case scenario for the beneficiaries of that parade would be a completely deserted area with tumbleweeds blowing across the street.

        It’s a better idea to spread out the protests anyway. More protests over a wider area means the oppressors have to expend for manpower and resources to control the situation. Don’t let them concentrate their forces in one place, force them to spread out.
