if your parade looks more like a militarized photo-op than a tribute to democracy, it’s not patriotism.

It’s performative authoritarianism.

You don’t honor freedom by crushing it under boots and flags.

free speech, peaceful protest, and accountability—not marching over dissent like it’s the 1960s in Birmingham.

You can’t claim to love freedom while silencing those who use it.
