It still is a one day event. An 8 block parade.

Can’t you do Father’s Day plans on Sunday?

There are tons of closures until 6 AM Monday. This whole thing is idiotic and more disruptive than necessary. And the audience for this would have absolutely lost their minds if Biden or Obama wasted tax dollars on such a propaganda -ish display.

I will laugh so hard if we get big thunderstorms on Saturday. This is one parade I’d be glad to see getting rained on. (Not that I plan to watch either way).

Closures til Monday! Didn't realize that, I just sort of assumed that since I wasn't planning to go anywhere near downtown all weekend, none of this would be a problem.

How will Trumpers get to their event? Do they know how to metro?

They will begrudgingly attempt to metro if they are somewhat local to DC, but only on certain lines. People coming in from the hinterlands are terrified of metro and will try to drive.

That is exactly what I was picturing when I posted.

Would Trump order them to run people down?

Yes he has already said it.

Most tourists don’t know how to take the metro and try to drive. It’s going to be interesting.

Don’t know a local soul who’s trying to be there and most are trying not to be in the city this week if they can help it.
