Our 4th parade is always pretty dull. Mostly businesses advertising their stuff (tree trimming trucks), city vehicles (street sweepers, etc.), etc. No marching bands, floats, dance troups, Shriners or clowns

The Democratic Party walked by with their candidates for November's municipal election. Lots of cheering and clapping. Same with the MOMs Demand group. The Republican Party walked with their MAGA shirts. Nobody clapped or cheered. Most (like my group) turned their backs to them.
