      The mistake you are making is assuming religious people are capable of logic, reasoning, or changing their minds. God himself could appear and tell them they are wrong and they wouldn’t believe it, because their existing beliefs are a forgone conclusion. They did not arrive at them by reason or logic and they will not be moved by reason or logic.

    The fact that the military’s birthday keeps getting called ‘Trump’s birthday’ shows how far we are sliding into fascism.

      Coincidentally, it is both his birthday and the US army’s “birthday.” Both arrived on June 14th, one in 1775 and the other in 1946.

        It just tells me that they’re educated on national history. Educated enough to call bullshit when they see it.

          Except that what he’s doing is weird at every level and the military worship of the USA is well documented and bad. This dude is complaining that the military’s birthday is being co-opted by Trump and that’s the sign of facism but I’m wondering why there should even be anything to co-opt in the first place. It’s sucking off the military for so long that’s already clearly pushed the USA towards facism looooong before Trump being a douche did anything.

          “Educated on national history”- oh, fuck off.

    Maybe this is misguided, but in some ways I was looking forward to seeing whatever actions had been planned in DC that day. I guess we’ll see what happens. Regardless, Asheville is coming out strong for a No Kings rally.

    I’m sure it may also be due to a lack of anyone joining and the huge protests on horizon. I wonder how pissed the military would be if he does cancel.

      The No Kings protest map is pretty blackened out with dots, they must have told him. Republicans aren’t showing either. It will be a sad, sad North Korean parade in the rain.

        Every military parade is a sad display of nonsense, the fact that anyone would think it’s a good idea is like thinking hitler had some innovative ideas about facial hair. dumb.

          Honestly, the mustache is one of the least awful things about him and shouldn’t have caught on as a nazi thing.

          But I don’t grow facial hair anyway and personally think neat mustaches look dumb on everyone except tom Lennon, so I don’t really know why I’m standing on a soapbox about it.

                Absolutely incredible (and hilarious) film.

                It also came out in 1940, which, given how cutting the satire was, is pretty fucking ballsy.
