CNN's Harry Enten presented new polling that shows President Donald Trump is losing support on his "core issue."The president won an appeals court battle for now over control of the National Guard in California, where he has dispatched troops and active-duty U.S. Marines to assist with patrolling pr...
No Kings hit 13 million in total. The estimates you see floating around were produces by Alt National Park Service, who had people out there counting, and the reason there are many is that they posted estimates on their (I think Bluesky???) account as the day progressed, so larger estimates simply came from later in the day and 13 million was the final estimate. And no, this doesn’t mean Trump will be legally forced to resign by the 3.5% “rule”.
I’ve not seen the 13 million number posted anywhere. Do you have a link, perchance? Also, I have no clue what a 3.5% rule is.
Couple of posts:
The 3.5% rule is more of an observation than a rule. It’s hopeful, but little more than that.
I couldn’t quickly find a citation for 13 million, but the first post does indicate counts are still coming in.
Alt National Park Service is not credible, they are basically a left-targeting qanon. The organizers of the protest say they had 5 million people in attendance.
No argument. I can’t speak to the veracity of the account. I was answering where the big numbers came from.
I’m not sure the tally is knowable. The pictures from NYC and Chicago were very impressive, but I wouldn’t know 1 million people from 100,000 just by looking to be honest.
Thanks. I was hoping for more than the Alt National Parks Service posts. So, as I see it, the numbers are somewhere between 4 million (the lowest estimate I’ve seen) which I don’t find credible, and 11 million from this post, which I have to admit I doubt. This account is, by necessity, anonymous. I cannot put a tremendous amount of faith in the numbers here, but I suspect they are closer to reality than the 4 million. I guess the truth is that the numbers will never likely be known with any accuracy.
I don’t know who might have credible numbers. Obviously not the government. Altnps has a narrative and I expect they want everyone who came out to feel validated. That doesn’t mean they are lying, but they would have motive and no transparency.
At the end of the day, it was a lot of people and one can simply visually compare the turnout in a single large city to Trump’s parade and see which way the wind is blowing.
