1. We know who they are now.

For later considerations.

2. Promise 20,000 and get 500. Meanwhile 1,500 protestors show up to oppose them.

They are a noisy minority. Stop being scared of their bark, they've no bite.

3. Let's face it. Most people are not proud of that stupidity.

Remember this. Loud does not equal vast. They’re so needy they have to tell themselves again and again they’re REALLY big and important. They’re small and pitiful, with much too much attention.

4. Maybe Is Right!

That doesn't look like 500 to me.
I've played several hundred gigs in rooms that held around 300 people, and that crowd looks like it wouldn't fill those rooms.
I've seen crowds bigger than that waiting to get into Best Buy the day after Christmas.

10. Maybe 150

But that would be a stretch.

5. Actually it went as planned...

500 = 20,000 in Trump math

[Initech]

6. Good, I hope that (sane) people have had enough of their shit.

[tanyev]

7. Obviously the organizers were counting in base 3,

so the turnout was even larger than they expected! Libs pwned!

[soothsayer]

11. New math!

8. Looks like Nixonville

(Watchmen reference)

9. So. It was the Day of the Mildly Upset.

Bummer.

[Eugene]

12. That crowd was 500 strong... and Dump's 2017 inaugural crowd was the biggest ever!

100 plus? Probably. 200 looks like a stretch.

17. Where are the portapotties?

[Miigwech]

13. Fanning farts in each others' faces was the main activity

so I have heard.

14. They have the look of being on the lower end of the economic scale

It always surprised me to some degree that the Trumpers are probably more likely to be receiving benefits from the government. I know, it’s not something I can determine from looking at someone, but many times I’ve heard a reporter asking someone at a trump rally if they received SS and they always say yes. But they hate socialism.

15. What a buncha herbs

[tavernier]

16. There are so few you can actually count them in the photo.

I would but I’m not that bored.

18. I've seen better turnout at a Tupperware party

[Squinch]

19. They're still thugs. But they're poorly organized thugs.
