Even democratic nations sometimes have army parades and so what? They have soldiers parading around and people give them tribute - whatever. But of course the difference is that Trump wants it to be about him (like what leaders do in totalitarian countries) and not about the army because he doesn't give a shit about the soldiers. He blocks them on twitter and calls them losers and treasonous, like he did to Ladda Tammy Duckworth.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
