    Not sure I believe that number. But hell, I can’t estimate crowds to save my life. At one point I was in the largest rock concert of all time, still have no clue.

    All I can say is the one I went to easily had 2,000. And that’s in the reddest part of Florida, and only 1 of 2 protests in Pensacola.

      Not sure if I’m misunderstanding you here… But the number from this post is for the stupid military parade in DC with the tanks, not the no kings protests. I’ve seen claims that there were over 6 million attendees for those.

    Unfortunately, there after a lot of photoshopped/ generated / cut images so it is really hard to tell if there were many people on trump’s show. I wished people would post the real photos instead of such obviously fake shit.

          This pic is cropped so you can’t see the empty lawn just passed the people by the fence they couldn’t see over.

          Edit - Here is newsweeks slightly less cropped version and all the empty space is clearly visible.

          Edit 2 - Here is a NYT photo that really shows how few people really showed up.

                  The people I rate highest were those who openly said they weren’t going for moral reasons. Muhammed Ali couldn’t fight for years because he had religious reasons the government refused to acknowledge. Others went to Canada or Sweden.

                  Next are people like Bill Clinton. Had a valid student deferment and talked about how bad the war was.

                  Further down are people who used legal means, but were silent.

                  Lowest are people like Bush Jr. who finagled his way into the National Guard [and bailed on his last year] and Trump who lied about his medical condition. Both of these two were happy to have other people die to defend their right to be a rich kid.

    Nice job on our military for following orders but making it very obvious they don’t give a flying fuck about drumpf’s lousy birthday. Now that is exactly what I wanted to see-- out of step marching (they absolutely know how to march perfectly, it’s literally drilled into them), old ass machinery, and never once saying HB to that ass-clown, they made it about the army instead.
