    Trump quoted Galaxy Quest for his “big line”

    Tim Allen did it better while doing an okay job portraying a mediocre TV actor.

    You would think that fascists who glorify the military would at least put effort into making a show of it, but no, it’s exactly as trash as everything else they put their grubby little hands on.

    If we’re going to have a dystopian future the least they could do is blast some dark synth over the whole thing.

      Fascists can and do put on a proper show, but the American subspecies of fascist is particularly lazy and stupid.

        Probably best not to go wishing for the motivated and smart kind. This is bad, that would be worse.

          When the best thing that you can say about a fascist is that they’re incompetent.

          Well, I mean, the BEST thing you can say about a fascist is that they’re dead. But you know what I mean.

            This is a trap, when a fascist seems incompetent, they are just masking. Competence is almost irrelevant to fascism, fascism is a one way processor of human resources and materiel into a certain kind of regime. That doesn’t require competence.

            So incompetent fascists should be detected and eliminated similarly to competent fascists.

      BTW yes, that’s right, even those Prussia-LARPing Chilean parades are utter crap, no lockstep, no organization, goosestepping looks like capoeira, the orchesters are crap, the drums even don’t hit the right rhythm …

      Really seems to be a pattern.

      A joke number, 86 47 is a meme about getting rid of Trump.

      The actual number is unclear, but I’ve seen estimates from 20,000 up to 50,000.

      The Trump administration is claiming 250,000, but the visual evidence is rather… starkly in contradiction to that.

      For reference, there were about 6,000 servicemembers in the parade itself.

        I don’t think the parade members could count in that crowd total as they are not part of the crowd.

          I wasn’t counting them as part of the crowd total, just pointing out how few audience members there were for each person in the parade.
