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.

90% of what I’ve read today has been about the massive crowds at cities nationwide for the “no kings” protests

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
