I'll tell ya what; go on record here, right now, with an estimated crowd size that you feel would be acceptable by your own definition of not "disappointingly small".
Then we can objectively look at attendance figures from multiple sources (i.e. not just from Trump) and we can see where we land.
I'm sure later I can selectively find a crowded photo once things are published, news articles, etc.
Look, we get it. You're looking for any excuse to ***** on it. If that's what floats your boat, a salude.
I see empty bleachers, I get it.
But that clip was showing the empty lawn with zero view of the parade route. This isn't a fireworks display. I would expect that an area 100 yard away with no sight lines wouldn't exactly be bustling with attendees.
Edit: And as I'm watching the C-SPAN coverage, certain areas look absolutely packed. Plus it's a parade route. Probably goes on for miles so people are spread out more than you would have say for an event at the national Mall.
Assuming this is what it looks like, this is what happens when you engage in stochastic terrorism, labeling everyone and everything they don't like as Hitler, fascism, etc. (ya know, exactly what the left has been accusing the right of doing).
Yeah some neighbors around me proudly fly Trump flags and I can't imagine why.
Never have I cared to decorate my domicile with the name of an elected official.
But hey, you do you bro.
Shooter still at large, but they reportedly recovered his vehicle as well as a manifesto of some sort. Evidently it named additional politicians as potential targets.
I'm guessing we'll have a better sense of the motivation soon.
I saw some pics today from a protest in a small Hamlet on a small island with an overwhelming liberal population.
It made me wonder what their actual purpose was.
Like "hey neighbors, let's make signs and go stand in the common area and stare at each other".
