NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is canceling the live celebration surrounding the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in favor of a virtual effort this year. Yes, a VIRTUAL parade.
This just adds to the list of fear porn-driven, terrible ideas that have come out of New York since the Covid-19 pandemic began.
“It will not be the same parade we’re used to,” de Blasio said. “[Macy’s is] reinventing the event for this moment in history. And you will be able to feel the spirit and the joy of that day.”
No, you will not.
This is continuing to cancel joy.
An unhappy American people is more likely vote for a change in government leadership at the highest level. If anyone believes this is about public safety and not power, there is a sweet bridge for sale just on the outskirts of town.
BREAKING REPORT: Bill de Blasio CANCELS Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, says it will be VIRTUAL this year…

Macy’s said in a statement that the parade will still have the floats, performers and, of course, Santa Claus but it will not have fans lining the streets nor the traditional handlers of the floats, rather re-designed car riggings.
“There are some things we still can’t do,” de Blasio added. “We’re looking forward to a lot of them coming back in 2021.”
The production of the 94th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will take place over two days. The performers will be socially distant and still normalizing the use of masks. It will air on NBC, Thursday, November 26 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
If you even care anymore.
He’s term-limited out as of Nov. 2021…but he’ll still be in office (’til Jan 2022) so maybe he’ll wanna go out as Grand Marshal next year?
He loves NYC so much he’s pushing his wife to run for mayor so she can finish what he started.
He’s just trying to be woke to his wife because of her color. They’re both thieves. The modern day Bonnie & Clyde who have taken over ONE BILLION DOLLARS of Government money over the past few years. New York City residents…..if you are dumb enough to re-elect this bozo or vote for his wife, you deserve everything that they take away from you and get ZERO sympathy from the rest of the country!!!!
It was probably going to be infused with politics and woke garbage anyway. No big loss.
I’ll be watching the March of the Wooden Soldiers, lol.
Seems a bit premature. Car rigging! Ha ha ha.
Another city needs to step up here!
Instead, Wilhelm will head his urban guerrilla army in looting, riots, and arson…
Seems a bit premature to cancel it in mid September.
The people of New York City reelected this guy to a second term lol that’s right they knew what they were getting so its really hard not to say elections have consequences and you get what you deserve. I believe he has stated he is a communist so these tyrannical orders are just par for the course. These dummies just can’t seem to elected people with good policies and realize they work FOR the people.
It’s really all about humiliating people at this point and forcing them to play virus theater. This is the same line of reasoning as canceling trick or treating in LA.
So the mayor of NYC is cancelling the end of November parade in September!!!
