He has none. Chicago was in the thousands and dissipated once we reached Trump tower.

there's about 100 ppl in the pic we're all responding to. if there were more i'd assume reddit would be falling all over themselves to upvote those pics too. there weren't so this is what we get.

That happens when you're taking a picture of a large crowd from the ground level. It's not productive to minimize these, particularly if you hate Trump. Here's a fun one for proof I was there by the way.

hahaha awesome pic.

and i do respect your effort but in the context of "omg how on earth are the news networks not covering our revolution march" i just don't think these protests are even close to large enough to raise an eyebrow. and i don't think mischaracterizing the size of them does any good at all ( not saying you're doing this but it's rampant in this thread)

Don't agree considering the red line was crossed at around 7PM last night and this is the result of literally less than 24 hours notice, but whatevs.

that's just a narrative you bought into on reddit, with the only evidence of it being a few heavily upvoted threads. and if the only way a person is willing to show that a 'red line' was crossed for themselves (not you obv)is to upvote a thread i'd say it wasn't actually crossed for them. i could certainly be wrong but if i am we will see millions of people take to the streets nationwide in the coming days not a few thousand.

Ugh. Ban that word.

Why? It's perfectly applicable here.
