Over on Bsky the chat has mostly moved on to the dictator's parade, which garnered very poor attendance of the serfs, and the troops are displaying zero enthusiasm as they march, to the point that they aren't even attempting to stay in step. A bunch of real sad sacks. The VIP stand is literally marked up with corporate sponsor "Coinbase" even though this event has cost the taxpayers more than $30M. Along the route, spectators are one to three deep along the barricades. And some subversive fuck put a cover of "Fortunate Son" in the program to play when the miserable sad sacks are walking past the parade stand. Bravo.
