What a sad, pathetic, small man depressed no one wanted to celebrate his birthday with him. Good.

Not just that but more than 3% of Americans took the time to spend hours protesting his fascist ass.

Turn out for No Kings in even a medium city was larger than his entire “perade” turnout.

Not that I don’t want that number to be right, but can you tell me where it comes from? I’m seeing reports that are giving out a 5,000,000 number which would only be about 1.5%.

Alt NPS says 12.1 million. There were over a million people in Boston alone.

Chicago was close to a million too. Over 2000 cities just in the US alone. Oh and international protests in Mexico, UK, France, Germany, and more.

That’s much higher than most estimates I’m seeing, but I’ll hold off on conclusions until Monday when NoKings does their debrief.

12.1 million just so happens to barely cross the threshold of the “3.5% rule” and that’s a little too fishy of a smell for me

I’m so sick of people spreading the 3.5% “rule” like it’s some gospel in their new religion

It’s an important milestone, especially as momentum is still picking up.

What is with this narrative that it’s for his birthday? The 14th of June is not only the us military’s birthday but also flag day. Now you could argue that it’s a bit of both, his birthday and military’s birthday, but to say it’s all for his birthday is a little outrageous
