Why is trump being allowed to say the protests were smaller than expected?
This is really bothering me.

(12,712 posts)His envy that the turnouts are many, many times larger than his rallies, inauguration, etc. plays into it, but this is also is just his constant, contrarian, Hitler-esque barrage.
He can't even turn it off now. It's Gobblesmania all the way. That is leading him to overdue it so much that it is loosing the teeth it once had to bite with, so that's good. If he keeps going this way with the bullshit dial on high only his vapid followers will be feeding off the vomit he spews.

You and I have seen the videos of the crowd sizes, but what about the low info voters?

(32,888 posts)Its a question for the media but you can google. There ARE protests in all 50 states and several other countries. Im exhausted and done caring about the lie of the fucking moment. If they put any of that effort into solutions wed be on to something.

For some reason them saying "tens of thousands" irks me. May just be a personal foible.

(251 posts)They aren't too high actually at the protests. Just look it's really not a lot of people save in Minnesota where they've had a lot of numbers there.
CNN and MSNBC love their ratings so they won't advertise that the protests aren't that big.

(51,186 posts)Personally I wish theyd go home or stay home. Likely its the COVID itself swelling the marches, nothing else to do.
For the sake of COVID spread and its to much IMO.

His goal is to annoy you and get under your skin.
Don't let it happen.

Guessing, what police department needs to wantonly anger their communities/states' Republican leaderships? Even well meaning ones, a pick-your-fight situation.
