“No Kings organizers estimated the day’s events have so far drawn millions of people, with some hundreds still under way in all 50 states and to some cities abroad. These included over 200,000 in New York and over 100,000 in Philadelphia, plus some small towns with sizable crowds for their populations, including the town of Pentwater, Michigan, which saw 400 people join the protest in their 800-person town, the No Kings coalition said.”

    And now I realize you might mean spread out over the country lol. 11 million people in an uproar in one city would be absolutely devastating.

    No, this is the best use of 11 million people, it was perfect, beautiful and intimidatingly encompassing in the way only love can be.
