🇺🇸 THREAD: Why a Patriotic Parade Was Seen As a Threat by Democrats
Once, a military parade meant honor. Now, it triggers riots.
How did we go from reverence to rage? From unity to suspicion?
The answer: narrative warfare.
Let’s break it down. 🧵👇

2/ When America marked the 250th birthday of its Army with a grand parade in D.C., countless people cheered.
But thousands protested.
Signs read “No Kings.”
Fires were lit.
Chants echoed through the capital—not of pride, but of “tyranny.”
What changed? Not the parade.

3/ Marching soldiers. Flags. Precision footwork.
To some: tradition, sacrifice, pride.
To others: control, fear, power.
It’s the same image, seen through two different lenses.
Why? Because something more deliberate is at work.

4/ It’s called narrative warfare.
It doesn’t use bombs. It uses stories.
During the Cold War, the Soviets called America “a land of hypocrisy.”
Now? The Chinese Communist Party is running that same play—only inside our borders.

5/ Foreign powers—like China—are funding U.S.-based activist groups.
These groups pose as social justice warriors, but echo CCP narratives.
Even the FBI is now investigating the foreign money driving U.S. unrest.

6/ You don’t have to attack a republic’s borders to destroy it.
You just have to fracture its meaning.
➡️ Make its people ashamed of their symbols.
➡️ Turn history into guilt.
➡️ Turn patriotism into fascism.
➡️ Turn order into “oppression.”
Divide the mind. The rest follows.

7/ This is why a parade now sparks riots.
Why fireworks are “triggering.”
Why schoolchildren are taught their flag is a threat.
The enemy isn’t outside the gate anymore.
It’s in the algorithm.
In the classroom.
In the grant-funded NGOs.

8/ And it's even more cynical than that.
It's not just that they hate America.
It's that studies show ANY exposure to a patriotic parade greatly increases the chance that a child will become a Republican when s/he grows up.
Think how far gone the Dems are for that to be true.
