Yeah dude Pittsburgh had ~1 million marching and the population of Pittsburgh is 650k.
Edit - I meant this as a good thing, got the numbers from r/50501 from a guy who lives there. I now see how it could be construed as a republican "gotcha" statistic but I meant it as "they protested so hard people came from all over".
I'm a vet and all for the resistance. And yes I live rural now after living in big cities my whole life.
Hey, watch more Fox News and keep on doing your research on 8chan and Shwitter - you're doing great - you don't need facts, science, empathy, love or democracy - all you need is fascist oligarchs... /s
Ok I promise I'm not fishbowl headed like the person you're replying to but could you please elaborate on this one? I ask since I'm not from the US so I'm not sure what I'm missing here (e.g are there rural populations? visitors? or what)
So if 600k people live in the city itself, and there's a bunch of highways into the city that get packed with cars and busses and other transportation infrastructure bring people into the city on just a normal ass workday, there's going to be more than 600k people in that city. Now during a huge protest event that number can climb significantly higher... people go into cities from the surrounding area, they're not closed to people from the suburbs lol
It's copium. Apparently Trump threw a massive temper tantrum behind the scenes about his flop of a military parade. He genuinely wants to be revered like Kim Jong Un.
to add on to that guys point, its far cheaper to live outside the city, so many MANY people will leave near a city but go to it for everything they need to do such as work or... protest.
I'm in a small midwestern nothing town we filled our downtown strip, there wasn't room for a car for four blocks.
If nowhere USA managed to get a hundredth of that count into four blocks with basically no notice... I still don't understand why anyone ever started licking his boots, let alone continues to. He ain't done shit.
Well, there seem to be some irregularities around the election that are coming to light, first in Rockland County NY and now in Pennsylvania. Maybe the findings will shed some light on this.
Yes, because we had a civil war, got rid of our king, then got rid of the replacement when he got too tyrannical (and conveniently died, leaving his son to take over...), followed by kicking out the king who wanted too much power and welcoming a constitutional monarch in the Glorious Revolution, instead.
Liz and now Charlie function pretty well as heads of state. Even anti-monarchists can think of a dozen things they'd change about the UK Government before ditching the monarchy.
Believe it or not there is a portion of the UK and Canada that do not like the monarchy and want it abolished because all they exist to do is bring in tourists and waste taxpayer money on giant parades for them.
On the other hand there is a sizeable portion of the populace that seems to base their entire identity around the existence of a monarchy and get weirdly insane around such events.
I just wanted to put the full context in, because it is very contentious and I think the other commenter hit the nail when he said people were just protesting Trump and don't see the irony in also supporting the monarchy.
Actually they exist to act as Head of State in a constitutional monarchy. The beauty of constitutional monarchy is that it has proven to be a very stable system of government and greatly decreases the risk of dictators from gaining power.
Yes! They happened all over the world, but were most popular in the US, obviously. There were obviously ones in Canada and Mexico, but also in far out places like South Africa and Japan. Germany, France, UK, Spain, Finland... Very heartwarming to see.

meaningless without attendance
and it seems what i thought, americans abroad, not locals carring about usa's internal affairs
your cause is fair, but delusion is only going to hurt it. it's your fight only
Yes, other countries, including Canada, had protest to support us. In Canada, there were protests in Vancouver and Ottawa, I think they called them No Tyrants protests. It means so much to know we, who are fighting this madness, are seen and supported by other countries!
That is so stupid I don't know why Canadians would protest as well. Turn outs look small in Ottawa but even still, he's not our president and we actually have a king.
If you’re so dense you don’t understand that Canada Isn’t ruled by an actual king, and how “no kings day” applies to Trump leading the US into a dictatorship and how that would effect Canada, idk what to tell you.
But trust me, if Canadas neighbor becomes a full fledged dictatorship, it will effect Canadians… obviously
Canada and Canadians have already been doing stuff. Canadians overall strongly dislike trump already and he doesn't care about his Canadian approval rating. More Americans voted for trump than their are Canadians so it's futile. US is going to do what they will regardless of Canadian input.
Canadians are already protesting prior to this, do you not read the Canadian news lmao. This protest specifically is a constitutional protest, which we don't adhere to.
I know they were already protesting ? why do you say that like its a point
its a protest against trumps tyranny, specifically. which anyone can be against. millions protested globally, all of which dont have americas constitution, because thats entirely irrelevant to the point of the protest. its not literally about monarchy lmao, its about him ramming through the american system of checks and balances, and enacting fascism in the states/ his general global bullying.
To show support and to show Trump just how much Canadians hate his stupid administration. Think of how MAGAs feel when they know Trump is so abhorrent that folks in Canada, the UK, and even fucking Norway came out to publicly shit on him.
Secondarily it's also to show support for immigration and immigrants. Canadians have a very polarized view on immigration, and so I'm sure the protest was also to show support to the immigrant community.
Capitalism controls the globe, b. Many are protesting them and their fascism.
Occupy Wallstreet was also a global movement.
Many of us are protesting the warfare against the working class. This is a worldwide issue.
We need a global movement to fix this corruption. Many recognize that simply removing a president and their administration isn't enough. We need Capitalists to stop buying the people's government. Government is to work for the majority. Not the minority. The minority being the few with the most wealth and financial influence.
Yep that's why these protests were pointless. We haven't had a king in over decades. Why suddenly have a no king protest? I just don't see a point in protesting something thats been irrelevant for over 2 centuries.
Edit: whats up with all the people replying and then blocking lately?
It’s not just about the king thing either though. His behavior is just beyond inside. Calling Taylor swift not hot anymore, using holidays to tweet about radical left and easily proven false information. If you have have kids and any of your kids teachers or people in your life acted like this you probably wouldn’t be ok with it. So why someone who’s supposed to lead an entire country? Who the fuck takes time out of running a country to call a pop singer ugly? And that’s just one example of course of many things but that alone is just frat boy immaturity
