If you haven't heard, Donald Trump is planning a 4 mile military parade on his birthday. I think it would be a powerful statement if we could get a bunch of protesters to block the road for this parade. Show them that we will not bow to a dictator, and let them deal with the optics of arresting a bunch of peaceful protesters waving the American flag. Thoughts?

Edit:

Others have mentioned the danger involved. Fear is understandable, but if you're worried about getting gunned down by the military I'd say we've already lost.

If you're not willing to stand up to them directly, we could always host a separate parade nearby and blow them out of the water as far as attendance goes.

Again, I'm advocating for 100% peaceful protest here. Any violence at all will basically guarantee a repeat of Tiananmen square. You don't need to die for the cause, but we need to step outside of our comfort zone
