this is overstated, it is currently placed as the third largest protest in America (in wikipedia at least, I’ve heard anywhere from 3-11M so numbers can vary), the two largest could easily be spun as political (George Floyd and Earth Day) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_and_demonstrations_in_the_United_States_by_size
not dragging the accomplishment btw, we’ve now had two new entries in the top 5 since Trump took office, I don’t think we’re done setting records either, get your friends and neighbors to go to the next one
Floyd protests are generally not included as those numbers are not single day protest, FWIW. Earth Day however, is weird to exclude. That was absolutely a single day political protest from a time when most everyone understood we share the planet and a vested interest in avoiding it becoming uninhabitable.
5M is an undercount
Damn, Soros is going to bankrupt himself.
Largest political protest yet!
This is going to STOP Republicans from Arresting and Assassinating Democrats!
Great achievement, but it should have been three times bigger.
Invite more friends next time, we’ll keep building
