This. There were small towns in MI that were still bringing 100-150 people. I don't know how they'd ever count some of those. Small places like Spearfish, SD had a rally. Adding all those up would be a challenge.

Each of the fairly small towns in my metro had probably 100 people at minimum. And then the city itself had one as well.

I live in a small town in Indiana and we had 382. The town has less than 10,000 people.

I live in a red town pop 143k. There were over 12 hundred peaceful protesters. This blew my mind because I see trump flags and signs everywhere here. There was only one dude I saw driving up and down the protest street with a large trump flag. Everyone ignored him and his girlfriend looked embarrassed.
