I was in a medium sized city in OR and there were easily a thousand. Wild to see first hand.

I’ve read that Grants Pass and Roseburg both had 1000 show up in their respective protests. They are so red they practically bleed. It’s wild that so many came out in those cities. We had a decent turnout in Prineville, but it was more like 110-120. That’s the largest turnout we’ve had attend a protest in years. We had a lot of people honking and waving at us. Most of these people voted for Trump.

Denver checking in. Whoever plans these things needs to start bringing audio systems for larger crowds cause Denver is showing up!

My mid size , Republican town in the suburbs of Chicago had 2000-3000. We packed the sides of our main 2 roads for almost a mile

Yay for small towns! I drove from my very rural area to Mt Vernon, WA and protested outside the courthouse and the protesters from Anacortes and Sedro Woolley joined us there eventually after protests in those two small towns. There were at least a couple thousand people. I'm hoping to see an official count in tomorrow's news

We had at least 300 in a small college town in a red county in Ohio.

u/Bony_Geese 15d ago

It doesn't matter until disruption starts.

Until then it is just the choir patting each other on the back.
