Masks or no masks this is a frightening video. A bunch of men somberly marching towards us - the would-be authoritarian in front of a phalanx of military personnel - is not an image of strength or security; it’s an image of unchecked power. Dark theatre nitter.vloup.ch/MayorWatermelon/…

Important to note that when the president goes to see wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital, a bunch of generals aren’t usually walking behind him. These men were told to do it - used and exploited to create an image - just like the general in the photo at Lafayette church.

So the people who don't vote are responsible for the president because they don't or can't participate in the flawed and rigged voting system, but the powerful military personnel who make decisions about war and are there to bolster the president's image are "used and exploited"?

Actually, yes. Of course voters have been used and exploited, but we also haven't put up enough of a resistance to the madness - until now. And those generals didn't just say, "Hey, I want to go too!" Their commander-in-chief called for it, for the sake of the photo op.

If you were there, you would create photo ops too, and you know it. Quit being a hypocrite. You standing on the debate stage when you clearly weren’t qualified to be there was a photo op. Bet it grew your business some, huh?

You've put more on the citizens who don't even have a holiday to vote in our rigged and gerrymandered elections than these generals who WAGE THE WARS, Marianne. They're complicit; not children, not victims.
