I get it and am all for shitting on this guy. However, the comparison of crowd size seems disingenuous. The top picture if of the parade route (where people would not be gathering; by this I mean that actual surface area where the tanks, floats, and soldiers will be passing by), while the bottom picture is of the specific crowd size in the specific crowd area.
I would prefer that the top picture be of a specific crowd area from a comparable angle at both events. You would see more at the parade people but would still be able to see that there were significantly more people protesting.
In this paper, I will explore the manipulative use of imagery on both sides of the American political spectrum to affect the targeting of political donations from grassroot and astroturf movements to the vast, uncaring, corporate machine disguised as diametrically opposed political philosophies.
Also keep in mind, that picture of the protest is one city. I don’t know which one, but it’s one of MANY cities with a similar turnout.
Meanwhile, the little thing trump threw was in one centralized location, and STILL nobody came.
It offends me that this draft dodging, classified information mishandling, rapist, traitor, coward arranged for a military parade for himself.
In the grand scheme of current events, it is a relatively minor transgression, but fucking damn it when are these fascists going to get the parades they deserve instead of the parades they want?
Ohhhhh, the parade they deserve. My oh my does that sound beautiful. Can we please have one of those forced parades through a village like they did to Cersei in Game of Thrones? I’ll travel to wherever it could happen. The entire Administration, please.
Pretty sure it’s a war crime to subject that many civilians to a naked Trump. Put him in one of these instead
I think Italy had a parade of sorts when they strung up Mussilini and his mistress.
Apparently 16 million of that is for road repair to fix the roads that aren’t rated for 70 ton tanks. What a stupid fucking waste of money.
Imagine how unpopular you have to be to spend $45 million on a birthday party and no one shows up.
Maybe he’s just weird and stupid enough to unite the country in a singular loathing of this bonkers gobshite chancer.
Books are where it’s at!
This just feels like further proof he rigged the election
False. The system is rigged. The electoral college is bullshit. A state like Alaska gets the same weight as my home state of California. We have forty-five times as many people. It’s fucking infuriating and it’s a consequence of kicking the slavery-can down the road back in the day.
I know this isn’t direct evidence (yet) of rigging or interference, but:
In a press release about the lawsuit published on May 29, 2025, SMART Elections also claimed that in multiple Rockland County districts, hundreds of voters cast ballots for Democratic Senate candidate Kirsten Gillibrand but no votes were recorded for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
(Emphasis mine, but zero votes for Harris in multiple districts, even in rural upstate NY, is hard to ignore).
That feels like proof that the state or counties or whoever local rigged it. Not the orange bad.
If enough of them did it and used similar or the same methods it could be an actual conspiracy and RICO case though. Trump and Musk certainly hinted at it enough. Hopefully someone is actually looking into it, but I don’t know who could currently, especially since the Dems are apparently too scared of hypocrisy so do it themselves.
False. Alaska gets 3 votes California gets 54. You do get the same number of senators.
Thanks for the correction. I knew this and still tripped on it.
Yeah. Careful of proof that just feels right
A lot has happened in 8 months. Like his voters getting deported
Was the top pic taken during the parade, or before it started?
I ask because if it was during then damnnnnn that’s gotta hurt his narcissistic ego so bad that it’ll burn his hair weave off!!
Please, tell me it was during. Please please!!I don’t know about OP’s picture but this one is certainly during. Almost nobody in the stands!
Bahahahahhahahahaha…
Looks like a fucking little league game.
I hope he’s crying into his McDonalds.
Weird and pathetic. Sad. Low energy.
It doesn’t really change anything since it still is way less people than were seemingly planned for but for correctness’ sake there were more people than are shown in the picture. You can still see by the less densely pact people in the back that a big part of the lawn that was reserved for attendees wasn’t used. The trees are kind of in the way though and the camera doesn’t cover as much as I’d like so if anyone has a better one please share. Livestream sauce (at 15:12)
