Too bad they didn't do it when it counted. On election day.

Well, there you have it. America πΊπΈ has spoken. In this day where everyone has a camera in their pocket, the evidence is plain to see if you take the time to look at all the photos and videos people are sharing on social media. In this particular photo of the parade, it's obviously cropped in such a way that you can't see the (relatively small) crowd on the bottom left very well. However, we're talking MILLIONS of protestors vs. thousands of parade attendees. Fascism has no place in America, land of the free, home of the brave. πΊπΈ

There were less than 6m at yesterdays protest, in a country of 340m+. Its very likely everyone protesting who was able to vote, voted.
Those numbers feel wrong.
I took the numbers from the US cencus and tried my best to cross check for number of people @ No Kings. I couldn't find any source that claimed above 5 mil. If you want to go by people who voted instead of population, I still have strong doubt's that out of the 150m who voted, that the 6m at the protests (those of which who COULD vote, remember minors and noncitizens can't vote.) didnt vote.
The U.S. census does protest counts?
Do I really have to explain that the cencus is where I got the 340m population from or did you skim read my response and missed the part right after where I said "tried my best to cross check for number of people @ No Kings. I couldn't find any source that claimed above 5 mil"?
I misread it :/
Sorry I wasn't trying to be an ass, just been having a shitty week. Hope u have a great day :)
I wasn't there for the one in my city, but I was nearby getting a ride home after I was done at a pride month event. As I was waiting I saw a lot of older people getting dropped off to attend the protest.
I also saw a funny protest sign. I can't remember exactly what it said, but I wanna say it was something like:
small feet, small balls, all he does is tweet and golf
Caught me off guard and got a chuckle outta me.
If we get to vote in 28 I know which way it's going. I wanna see how the upcoming election goes.
Where was the picture on the bottom taken?
