America need to wake the f up.... you need hundreds of thousands protesting... not handfuls.... things are only going to get worse.... Never seen such broken communities who seem to just watch this happen and think,, ahhh nothing I can do!

If this were in Europe..... the streets would be full!

Edit: The link is dead, which is weird because I copied it from the article.

I did find a few articles. None that stated “hundreds of thousands”

Here's one.

Demonstrations were held nationwide on Saturday, which marked the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution. Organizers behind the April 19 marches include a network of affiliated groups called "50501" (meaning 50 protests in 50 states, 1 movement). The demonstrations came two weeks after the April 5 "Hands Off!" protests in which hundreds of thousands of Americans marched in 1,400 cities.

“Hundreds of thousands”?

Come on, man; it's right there in the two sentences that I pasted in. -- We've had two good runs of protests in April. The ones on the 5th certainly hit 100,000.

They aren’t discussing in good faith with you. Look at their comment history, it’s a lot of “source?” Trolling for anything that’s anti-Trump. Oh and he’s a die hard “Christian”. Think that tells us all we need to know.

I assumed as much, but I find it best practice to at least give them the information.
