Inside the Million MAGA March

I´m no journalist, but this looks like is a lot more than just 10,000 people to me at least:

This crowd is not big. It really isn't.
Ever been to Taste of Chicago, they get 1.6 million people.
Or the Cubs winning, I think they said 5 million.

So even if there is 50K people there (I don't see that from the pic) it really isn't that big of a crowd.

That´s funny, the second you posted that the guy on stage said that "the Left is trying to marginalize us" , just at the same time that you tried to marginalize us by stating that "there not so many people there, nothing to see here, move along..." A reporter said just now in the live stream says that "100,000 people has walked by, easily."

Having the SAME problem as well... I have never felt so grateful for what God is doing in this nation in a LONG time. In 2016 I sat there and WEPT when I realized how miraculous that was, but this is like RedSea 2.0 all over again...

Yeah...I've seen leftist looting and burning riots bigger than this.

Counting seems to be a problem for some people. I can look at those photos, and actual videos I've looked up and
tell you straight up, that crowd is not big, and of course nowhere NEAR a million or even a good 100K.

Maybe it's big for people that come from a town of 20 though.

If people want to support Trump by gathering, good for them, but to make it out to be some of a much bigger magnitude than it is is disingenuous

I'm surprised this rally even happened with the colossal amounts of suppression there was against it from the corporate overlords.

Almost every attempt to organise was shut down within minutes. And yet, there they are.

Cracks in a failing corporate world order.

I´m sorry, but I trust the headcount of someone on location in DC reporting that 100,000 people has walked by them, more than someone doing a headcount from their home office.

Read this article a while back on this very sort of issue. Quite interesting.

Crowd-size estimation is tough for people who want to do it right. But when turnout implies clout, then politicians and event organizers have plenty of motivation to exaggerate the head count....

Crowd-size estimation is a murky science, positioned at the intersection of statistical precision and political sleight-of-hand, and plenty of people are motivated to either exaggerate or low-ball an event's attendance....

"Almost everyone who has tried to make a crowd estimate has a vested interest in what the outcome of the estimate is," Charles Seife says. Seife is a journalism professor at New York University who writes about math and physics.

Still, I believe someone on location has a better probability of a correct headcount than someone over the internet.

Downplaying crowd size. Well sure, maybe, I"m not good at guessing crowd size either. But even so, let's call it double that size to 20,000 or even 30,000 fine. I'm glad to see such a cross section of Trump supporters and at this point there is no sign of anyone wanting violence. That's a good thing huh?

Now I think that they are marching to the courthouse. Peaceful. Good. We will have to see how things go as the day wanes if they will all go home peacefully with no skirmishes with potential radical leftsists. However so far I think your earlier prognosis of how it would go was overly accented.

You are free to believe whatever you wish.

That does not mean it is correct or logical.

a reply to: TerryMcGuire

No need to guess, reporters on the streets said that more than 100,000 people walked passed them.

How can you honestly estimate a crowd when you’re in it?

I’d say aerial photos would be a better option.

I said in my OP that you Lefties would try to downplay the numbers, so I´ll stop my arguing here. People are awake to our little tricks trying to twist facts.

Leftists seem unusually worried about size.

As I asked earlier, what do you expect to come out of this march, regardless of the number of people at the march?

I’m gonna say — we have the technical ability to count a crowd from an aerial photo.

If we can target a man lighting a cigarette from an airplane — we can count a crowd.

The Left wants people to feel marginalized, that they´re one of a few, and that resistance is futile because the great majority is against them - when in fact it is the MSM that is the minority, and a weaker minority than they want us to know.

It appears the Right is as well.

Their desired size is literally in the name of their march.
