    200k expected. 20k attended. Over 50k protested in DC beforehand. 11M protested nationwide.

    Happy Birthday, Dickhead.

      I attended a No Kings rally in a small suburb that nobody here has probably ever heard of. We easily beat Trump’s numbers. LOL

      20k attended? Damn, they could have just given everybody $2000 and skipped the $40m parade. I’m sure people would have enjoyed it more.

      I only glimpsed it on the news channels on the TVs at the gym yesterday. It’s interesting that it was originally hyped as a birthday parade for him, but all the clips on the news were labeling it as a parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the army. I guess the birthday parade shit didn’t poll well with anybody.

      Also pretty hilarious that nobody really celebrates the 250th anniversary of anything.

        The thing with the 3.5% that most people keep missing, is that it needs to be 3.5% of the population consistently engaged in protest, not just in a one off event.

      Where were the DC protests? That sounds like a large number and I know the No Kings protest organizers excluded DC from their planning because they wanted to draw focus away from there. If it was 500k in DC that would have been fairly substantial because that would be larger than the 2017 DC women’s march, which was the largest protest since the Vietnam war and was so large it encompassed most of the national mall. You couldn’t actually march anywhere because people were shoulder to shoulder.

        It was 50k, not 500k. I mistyped and corrected it. The protests in DC were staggered from the morning hours and ended by 4PM in accordance with permits.

    It is pretty easy to put on an impressive parade when you have a military of 2 million people and aren’t a global power vs the US with 1.3m and have bases all over the globe. Even Russia was able to put on a bigger parade while they were fighting Ukraine and had lost tens of thousands of soldiers.

    The parade was pretty paltry, but the fireworks display was very ostentatious. Breaking out the vintage stuff was cool, but lame that they didn’t at least put some mock .50s on the half track.

        I think the difference there is you’d probably notice a ton of troops like, literally gathering for war. You’d have enough time to mobilize and house them. Parades are not important enough to pull that many troops away, and it’d be way more than this one cost.

        Now, a civil war… nah, I feel like by the time anyone organized you’d have plenty of troops ready to squash it.

          as someone mentioned in another thread, most likely it was a distraction from all the protests thats going. notice how all the MSMs are are barely covering it and focusing the assassinations and the parade.
