This is incredible.
"small protest, one of the smallest. My speeches are bigger, much biggly"
-turnip
Welll... It's honestly not that big. The entire turnout across the States was not that big. The two anti Brexit protests in London had about 1.5 million participants and Britain has a much smaller population. Most Americans don't seem to care.
London population: 8.8 million
Twin cities combined population: 3.6 million
London public transport: pretty damn good, connections everywhere, not an insane price
Twin cities public transport: almost non-existant, insane parking prices
London police: sometimes reasonable and lightly armed
Twin cities police: notoriously corrupt, heavily armed, use constant excessive force on civilians
Mystery solved.
The count's are coming in but I'm seeing more than 11million people protested throughout the usa.
