Firstly, Tropical Soulvangelical wants to condemn the political violence taking place in Minneapolis along with the mistreatment of a U.S. Senator a day or two before that. But he thinks this is unaccountability attempting to cloud his comments on both No Kings' Day and -trump's- military parade. So for the most part, as TSV was scanning the Wikipedia article on No Kings' Day, he saw that for the most part the protests were free of co-option or gate-crashing by the politicians (though he saw that Bernie did go to a protest in Stowe, VT, TSV didn't, -yet-, see evidence that Bernie took privilege in insisting on making an impromptu speech, a la Hands Off). But as per -trump's- parade, TSV saw the westernized visual media making nail-biting comments which TSV saw as playing into the hands of -trump- because TSV believes that's -exactly- what -trump- wants. TSV will not buy any excuses on the part of the westernized media that they're only doing their free press work, and TSV would not be surprised if this kind of inexplicable coverage was promulgated by the Central Donkeys as part of their continuing War On Biden in an attempt to spin a fatalistic and hopeless narrative. TSV still believes that both the Central Donkeys and the westernized media -wanted- -trump- to win the election last year in order to, among other things, premeditate a military parade to create a narrative over. If Kamala won or if the Central Donkeys ceased and desisted as per the true wishes of the public and allowed Biden to get a second term (contradicting what TSV now believes were central party distorted polls), TSV's pretty sure that they wouldn't have insisted on tanks being in the streets. But since this was the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, they would have obviously wanted to make sure that there was an official observation of some sort, perhaps a smaller parade or an event elsewhere in the Washington area, an air show from a base close to Washington, like maybe Annapolis in Maryland. In any case, TSV wouldn't have bought the apparent intellectualist insistence that Biden or Harris would never have tolerated -any- observation of the anniversary, just that they would not have requested tanks in the streets. Also in contrary to the intellectualist/westernized media/Central Donkey narrative, TSV believes that the public would have given some measure of support to an Army anniversary of some sort in the case of a Kamala or second Biden presidency, but that they would have healthfully made sure such an observation would have a proper place in the culture. So TSV figures you can argue that -trump's- parade kind of took -away- from the importance of the military forces rather than reinforced such importance. In the same way Kimmel and his announcer observed that the Marines stationed in L.A. were looking kind of bored and possibly not disagreeing with the demonstrations protesting crackdowns on immigration (and it's likely that there are Marine members that are immigrants themselves), TSV figures that the tank riders would also look like they're going through the motions thinking to themselves, do we -really- have to do this? Nothing in the fatalist media about how it was pouring rain for most of the day or what TSV's coworker pointed out was Marco Rubio letting out a big yawn while observing the parade, and a very certain downplaying of the fact that the parade was poorly attended by the public. And one last thing TSV wants to point out, most importantly. Today was Father's Day, which TSV also sees as God's Day, and TSV believes that the best way to observe the day after the parade is to help God out the best way we can, including holding ourselves to the concept of principle and some manner of God-given intelligence which TSV saw happening in about half the places he looked the day before.
