    They’re probably including people watching online or on TV. Which makes those numbers even more pathetic.

      Yeah compared to a grassroots risky protest against a militant wannabe dictator with the morning starting off with political murders by the opponent.

      I saw all kinds of people protesting in the least likely areas. One image burned into my brain from Saturday was a solemn older couple, walking alone, she hunched over with a walker, him walking beside her, with a no kings sign and a billowing American flag in the sunlight. I was afraid to protest and almost started crying when I drove by.

      I will NEVER forget that sight.
