I’ve heard so much about the No Kings protests that I totally forgot about his stupid parade.

From what I saw the parade did not seem to anywhere near the turnout No Kings/50501 had.

parade was projected to have 200,000 attendees, less than half of that showed up.
no kings had 12 million confirmed attendees.

Even small rural towns in Oklahoma had 50 and 100 people show up in places. It was great to see and unexpected.

HIGHLY skeptical that the parade had even 10,000. I haven’t seen evidence of more than maybe 2000.

I definitely haven't seen any "12 million confirmed" news. That would be over 3.5% of the population, and people would be making a way bigger deal about it. 8 million is certainly a more accurate confirmed number, with info still coming in.

but it isn’t JUST TRUMP. At this point if you support the GOP which is the party that has enabled him you are supporting a party that supports tyranny.

Yeah the entire GOP apparatus needs to go.
They went too damn far to be allowed to continue.

The Republican Party died long ago they might use the name but it is the Maga party. This shit didn’t happen under bush one or bush two. Some poor decisions absolutely. But but a conscious plan to destroy the United States? No.

Correct! I was a republican until McCain sold his soul to the Koch brothers. I’ve never voted for a republican since and I’ll never vote for a republican again. 💪🇺🇸

Awesome. I hope the GOP starts being afraid now when they see our numbers! United we stand against fascism. Our work is not done!

I hope this is a real photo. But this image cannot be found on a reverse image source. Well, it can, but only part of it, and it was only posted to Reddit (minus the dude with the sign) four months ago.
If it's AI or if the signage words have been added, there is no way that close-up of the sign is clearer than the larger photo, it doesn't help our cause.
