This is a needless point - there is nothing in OP that would extend to whatever choice you have. You aren't supposed to fixate on the particulars of an example or metaphor, but abstract from it the point being made - which is the suitable abstract "change in a system" - any system, any change.

It feels like you taken this particular choice of example to dunk on Americans in particular.

> that they should live by his own weird rules

What "weird" rules? Parades and signs in particular, or the promotion of LGBT?

If the latter, why is this weird? It's hardly the same as your strawman-examples of promoting junk food and sugary beverages.
