Weren't a lot of people here posting about the size of the crowds at President Trump's rallies during the election? And how those were evidence he was going to win?

I'm positive I can find posts like that. So downplaying the size of this crowd becomes hypocrisy.

They were voting for Hillary, which is why she won the popular vote by 3 million I'd imagine. However, going forward, they were going to be a much power potent political force if they maintain this momentum. Trump is in deep doo doo.

So far, yes -- these massive protests on day one though show that may change. If it does, God help the Trumpzis. They'll get smashed.

Prior to the election, it was a blue wall.


Now its a blue tidal wave?

Yes but winning 3 or 4 heavily populated states does not win the presidency if it did then most states wouldn't have to vote because these few states populations would dictate every time.

Did your lady's man co-worker shove a cigar in their ******* and *** on their dresses the way Bill did?

No need or reason to argue about this. If Trump and the Republicans want to believe that he had a huge turnout for his inauguration and that yesterday's march means nothing, that's fine. Let them believe what they will.

Ultimately, it will make no difference.

It was the Obama voting Democrats who could not stomach Hillary and voted Trump.

The gift that keeps on giving. Thanks Dems.

How many Trump supporters would have been marching today had he won the popular vote and lost the Electoral College.

It all depends on whether you believe each person's vote counts equally or whether some votes should count more than others.

If you believe that votes from less populated states should count more, this way works for you.

If you believe that some votes should count more than others, than purging voter roles of names that sound African-American or Hispanic works for you.

If you believe that some votes should count more than others, then making it difficult to vote in some areas, making it difficult for some voters to vote... works for you.

It all depends on your view of democracy.
