Trump's military parade, in itself, isn't what disturbs me......

Yeah, the taxpayers will have to pay the tab, a few million bucks; but, what scares me is the thought that thousands of Trump's creepier supporters will be lining the parade route with their "Hail Trump, Hail victory!!" cheers, 'white power' (Nazi) salutes, and swastikas, and beating up any protesters, or maybe just anyone who doesn't cheer enough.
