11. They had fireworks at the end

So they needed the parade to end around sunset.

I really like hometown parades. But that parade in DC was really pathetic. Maybe because there was so much room that the groups of marchers, equipment and bands looked dwarfed? Also the tiny crowd made it look smaller. The course from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Memorial was more empty fields and food truck lines than crowds.

The parade itself was eerily quiet despite the jumbotrons blaring music. And The fly overs had to be very carefully regulated because DC is a heavy populated area. Stunt flyers frequently crash and the best performances are over empty fields.

Just piss poor planning and hatred of pedo Trump on grand display.
