Stats on Attendance: Trump’s parade flopped. No Kings Day was a hit.

[Anonymous]

Attendance was orders of magnitude higher at the No Kings Day protests than at Trump's birthday parade....that must worry Republicans.

#Paul Krugman The poll analyst G. Elliott Morris has worked with a number of independent journalists to produce rough estimates of how many people participated in the protests nationwide, and comes up with a number between 4 and 6 million. That’s a huge number. Remarkably, these massive protests were almost entirely peaceful.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump got the military parade he wanted for his birthday. And it was a box-office bust, probably attracting far fewer people than the 250,000 the White House claimed. In fact, the optics were simply embarrassing. As the Washington Post noted,

Some in the crowd filed out as the parade continued, the number of onlookers thinning before the president gave his remarks. Even bleacher seating for VIP guests, positioned directly across from a riser for news cameras, remained half-empty throughout the program.

Why would this worry anyone? It was a great event we enjoyed watching from the comfort of home- probably similar to others all over the country. You all did awesome with the rally btw- Monday and still no King!

No one is worried, but Trump threw a party and nobody came. Ketchup was probably flying last night.

What a waste of time, energy and money. Lame parade. Everyone is laughing at the empty stands.

Why isn't he posting about the huge, beautiful parade?

Low energy and low turnout.

Yeah, too bad it cost $90 million to laugh at Trump. The most fitting sign I saw. "Why Enough Money for a Parade, but No Money for Medicaid?"

DOD is out with some incredible AI generated propaganda pictures.

Really sad that our US military and tax dollars are being used for this.

Is Trump going to order an investigation into the crowd size? Claim the pictures were photoshopped? 😆

Most of the servicemen didn't even want to be there.

I was chatting with my cousin last night about it. He reached out to ask me if I had a Chiropractor rec in DC/VA because his back is messed up from sleeping on a cot for 7 days and he has 3 more days this week on one. Anyway, he said "Respect the rank not the person. That was all of our mottos. Just get through this sh!t and do it for the brothers who came before us" and "so f.....g stupid and making it all about him is what made me first lose respect. We did it because were following orders not because we wanted to and our performance conveyed that, at least in my unit."

And if you MAGAs don't believe me, I'll post the entire convo screenshots.

I find it difficult to respect the rank because the man currently in the Oval office is a convicted felon and ajudicated racist

Nah, they are already putting out AI photos via the official accounts. There's a guy on X zooming in and showing the messed up AI manipulation that the WH didn't catch. Like a guy in the front row with 3 arms. Another is someone with a leg off to the side that looks like a tail. I think someone found a cyclops (someone with just 1 centralized eye). And he showed that after row 3, it's all blurs of colors not actual humans.
