More people stormed the capitol on J6 than showed up for Trump's birthday bash. Heartbreaking really.

I'm willing to do a coup of the US government for you ms Orange, but I ain't going to that boring parade.

Unironically a smaller crowd than my midsized city turned out for the No Kings protest today.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

it's smaller than the crowd at my small town.

that parade seems like a south park sketch

can't believe "come to the virginia swamp in summer and smell diesel fumes" wasn't a bigger draw than a sale at a Bed Bath and Beyond in Des Moines.

It'd be interesting to know how much money was spent per attendee. Like, even if that is 5,000 people (which seems generous), that would put it at ~$9k per person doggirl-lol

let's face it, the target audience was a single overcooked potato.

so it cost about 45 million per attendee

Trump should have marched at the head of the parade.

sad-boi Less than half of what I'd hoped for

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

more than twice what he deserves

[–] Coca_Cola_but_Commie@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

I’d swear my home town’s homecoming parade gets a better turnout than this.
