One thing people aren’t talking about is the insane security perimeter they have which bans basically everything other than a cell phone. No backpacks, cameras, laptops, “pointy umbrellas,” hard water bottles, etc. Its made it basically impossible for a normal tourist to bring in normal tourist kit. And obviously no locals want anything to do with this.
No other event in DC does this. Street fairs, events on the mall, parades - none of them have this kind of security. It’s very clearly a bunch of oddly paranoid fascists buying their own conspiracies about Antifa vandals or whatever.
its funny how we are the backwards country bumkin nation again.
You’re wildly and arrogantly assuming you never were. Lol fucking Yanks.
yeah. we’s dumb. like we would see the word again and not think it could imply a way of being in the past.
Wow. There’s a part of me that feels sad, because any empty event is a weird empty liminal space. There’s a much larger part of me that says who did you make this for and maybe that’s why.
Pride parades have been hugely attended. Interesting what happens when everyone feels welcome and accepted.
Then also, I had never heard about this until after it started. Where was the marketing team for this? Heard more about the redneck brawl-ma-geddon bs than I heard about this.
There was a fair planned with bipatrisan support by Smithsonian. Trump pulled it and gave money to his friends and you got this.
Honestly, good. Wouldn’t want the Smithsonian putting on an actually good event during this shitshow of an administration. What you see here is far more representative of the state the country is currently in.
Happy 250th, ya filthy animal!
