Maybe if we give them larger more expensive floats next year they won't hit the lamppost.

I was already at "We need a bigger, beautiful lamppost. Really, just the best lamppost you've ever seen. A strong, virile lamppost." about a minute in. If I actually think the lamp-post is a good thing, who do I vote for to get that?

Everyone loves a parade!

  People don't want to buy a huge, beautiful parade full of unelected bureaucrats. People want to buy a good sturdy lamppost.

Maybe if they had listened to Ted Stevens they'd have a bridge to get around the lampost!

I am going to the fascist parade. I have a cute 8647 shirt and hat.

  Sounds like insurrection. I hope you enjoy spending g the next several years in jail awaiting trial. Which you should, since that’s what you’ve advocated for.
  
  Amd good thing you’re a democrat, so you don’t have a job to worry about.

I’d prefer there wasn’t a military parade, but this much coverage of this particular parade is pretty revealing.
