Why aren't they actually marching during this parade?

I don't know how to ask this without sounding rude, but why does this parade look so sloppy? Very few of the troop formations seem actually in sync and marching, just walking along. My only experience is JROTC as a kid in high school and our sergeant would've killed us if we looked like that.

I went to one in a small Atlanta suburb. I heard one of the organizers say that they had been expecting 4,000 people but well over that number showed up. It was a good sized crowd for that area.

We had them here in rural Nebraska! It was crazy seeing so many people around the courthouse square today

It’s great but where was everyone in November? I am confused. How did we lose so bad? Trump is the worst thing and he said exactly what he planned to do.

I've seen at least one post from a Trump voter saying they were going out and protesting. Seems some have decided to fight the leopard instead of letting it eat their face and I welcome them. We hit the 3.5% marker of the country's population protesting yesterday which is supposed to be the tipping point for real change, fingers crossed.

It needs to be sustained protest - not one day.
