Forty thousand people attended Trump's birthday parade. Six million people attended the "No Kings" protests.

That’s it. That’s my post.

Edit. Looks like it was actually over 12 million protesters. Holy shit! Well over 3.5 of the voting population, not to mention the general population. Noice!

Edit #2. As lot of commenters are claiming the parade attendance was less than 10k. I have not yet been able to independently verify either number yet, as the situation is still fluid.

But regardless, it’s clear the parade was a flop, and the protests were a success. USA! 🇺🇸

I have learned the exact number:

8647

Do you have a source for that number? I’ve been looking but all I can find is variations of “less than the 200k expected”.

Say it slowly. Maybe imagine some shells on a beach

You got me with this one. I guess I was a little over excited to see an actual number, didn’t even register what number it was.

I'm just paying it forward. :) Your turn!
