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

Former FBI director James Comey.

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!
