Great time for a peaceful protest that backs up the parade for miles.
I’m concerned that it wouldn’t back up the parade at all. Reboots and remakes of 80s shit has been the trend for a long time, so it’s not far-fetched to think we might see a new, American “Tank Man” scenario. It’s not what I want to see, but I didn’t want to see people getting disappeared away to concentration camps either. But fucking here we are.
Lafayette Square Massacre. Rated NC17. Coming this Summer.
An American Tank Man would be an incredibly strong image.
If this were a movie, it would end with the very soldiers he ordered for his giant vanity project deposing him in response to some crescendo of barbarity on his part. That’s a downright Aesop of an ending - the villain defeated by his own vanity and pride. You order thousands of soldiers to perform a parade to celebrate your birthday, and it’s the last straw that causes them to straight up depose you in a military coup.
