The WorldPride parade in DC was far more political and far less corporate than any prior Pride march I have seen in DC. Probably due to Trump’s anti-DEI crusade, most corporations stayed away. This limited their ability to exploit Pride to sell their goods and capitalism itself.
On the other hand, there were a lot of anti-Trump messages, including even a call to deport Trump to CECOT in the place of the Gay Venezualan sent there by “mistake.” Near the head of the parade was “Operation Resist” in opposition to Trump’s efforts to witch-hunt LGBTQ folks out of the military. This sort of thing shows the potential for splits in the military itelf that could limit Trump’s efforts to play auto-coup games and could be decisive if the US blows apart.
