Not to mention if you actually watched the televised footage, it’s just sad lol. No one is standing and cheering, all just quietly sitting down, as the soldiers slowly stumble along because they clearly don’t want to be there lol. Even in the WH’s post about it they show nothing of the crowd or the parade itself, likely because they knew how shit it all looked lmao

Not diverting. You clearly don’t understand that it’s not unreasonable to say that a parade in one fraction of the country isn’t going to physically garner as many people as online if in a society people would more likely watch from home. You seemed to contest the notion, but haven’t anything to show for a reason why. That’s on YOU.

Notice how there were protests all over the world for No More Kings which were wildly successful….. yet apparently no one could show up bc people watch TV instead for these things, according to your logic. This can only mean a few things, one which is pretty funny and accurate being people who are against trump are way more impassioned about their country than people who like trump.

Anonymous #5 15w

Bro you do you realize a protest is meant to be physical right? Nobody protests from home unless it’s an internet endeavor. This was a parade to celebrate the army, in the same sense one might watch the thanksgiving parade from home or if they are nearby travel to see it physically. You’re comparing things that are completely different in nature. Not to mention that the parade for the army was in DC only, not something happening at the same time across several states.

Literally anyone can watch a parade on their tv lol, that’s barely support. They estimated around 200,000 would attend and roughly 10,000 did. At least Double that number showed up for No Kings protests in Houston and San Diego. It was a fucking flop plain and simple lmao

Anonymous #2 15w

Physical and virtual attendance are tied in terms of public interest, if less people showed up physically then likely less people show up virtually. A large magnitude more of people attended the protests physically compared to the parade, so it’s reasonable to think that more people also watched virtually.

Doesn’t mean anything in the case of protest, but a national parade is measured both in physical attendance and televised viewership. Not my fault someone who’s 1000 miles away isn’t going to go to DC for a weekend for a parade that can be viewed live on television.
