1 in every 100 Americans marched against Donald Trump
 

A professor of political science in Connecticut has aggregated the data from public reports of crowd sizes at the women's marches across America on Saturday and reached an astonishing conclusion: More than 1 in every 100 people in the U.S. turned out to march against Donald Trump and for women's rights on the second day of his presidency.

Drawing on reports of 526 different marches in towns as disparate as Wichita Falls, Texas - reported turnout: 150 people - and Washington, D.C. - reported turnout: more than 500,000 - University of Connecticut professor Jeremy Pressman, working with international relations professor Erica Chenoweth from the University of Denver, estimated that 3,341,823 to 4,611,782 people turned out to march across the nation.

The Census Bureau estimated that the U.S. population as of mid-2016 was 323,127,513.

"The overall number is bigger than I expected," Pressman told Yahoo News about his findings on the protest crowds. "With a low estimate it's a little bit above 1 percent, and with a higher estimate, it's probably closer to 1 1/2 percent."

The Associated Press had reported late Saturday that "more than 1 million people rallied at women's marches in the nation's capital and cities around the world."

On Sunday it became clear the global number had to be higher than that, as the low-end estimates from just four major American cities pushed the total marcher count to nearly 1 million.

In Washington, organizers released a crowd estimate of more than 500,000 early on Saturday morning that was confirmed by city officials on Sunday, and the local Metro authority told the New York Times Sunday that it had logged more than 1 million individual entries into the underground rail system over the course of the day - the second-highest number ever, after Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration day, which saw 1.12 million entries. Independent crowd scientists studied pictures from the scene for the Times and concluded turnout was at least 470,000 at 2 p.m. Saturday, or three times as many as had attended Trump's inauguration the day before.

article...

So 99 in 100 didn't...

I expected the bottom to number much higher

so 1% ?

Serious business :2 cents:

And 80% are all talk

1% is over 3 million activists.

That is a fucking army dumb shit

3 times the trump the chump turnout. now the boycott of purchases will begin :) there are so many ways to hurt people without violence. money is one of them.

nah there are many risk doing this kind of thing.

like the bottom has money. hahahaha

where do you think the retail sales come from???? the rich?? jeez at least try to act like you have some common knowledge. :Oh crap why do you think chumps wife is so silent? because they are boycotting her products!

And this is the day after his inauguration the protest are only going to grow over time.

I like a lot of what Trump says on the business side, I just want to see what he actually does and what the real price for us will be.

On the social side Trumps a divisive asshole causing unnecessary drama :2 cents:

rivetting data

52% of the population voted directly against Hillary

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

54% of the population voted against Trump... you don't think you can win that argument do you? Or do you have so "alternative truth" for us...

48 percent (59,580,545 votes) compared to 47 percent (59,341,558 votes) for Trump. Hillary Clinton is more popular than Donald Trump.

#Hillary2020!

come now, silly chump. The bottom spends their money on fast food and walmart. Pretending that they'll change that pattern to teach Trump supporters a lesson is silly. They're simply not that aware or interested.

yeah, he's in the white house. Hillary isn't.

The electoral college saved us from the bottom as it was intended.

no clothes and other things? :helpme:helpme :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh damn!

look at you, pretending when you shop at walmart you don't see the clothes.........

I stopped reading at "political science" ...

I'm interested to see what the turnout is for 2018 and 2020. Maybe if those 3 million volunteer and network, drive people to the polls, etc, this will produce an effect. If they would go all the way to Washington DC, why would they not go to swing states and offer to drive elderly and people without vehicles to the polls?

people do shop at malls and 99 cent stores right? fast food? cellphones? comps? etc... ??? you are legally mentally blind! :helpme:helpme :1orglaugh:1orglaugh :Oh crap:Oh crap. LOL @ only shopping at walmart!

I find that stat very hard to believe.

Of course, it's FAKE NEWS

so the big ass crowd trump was talking to was fake? no matter prep all the resources you can. think if money becomes useless what you can trade.

What the fuck are you talking about, brassdonkey?

1% sounds small, until you compare it against the size of the population, and consider that the majority are probably apathetic fucks who like to have a whinge, but never go as far as protesting. So a million or two people actually doing something is pretty significant.

It's FAKE NEWS

sure it does until you add the supporters that could not attend.

And what about Trump rallies? No one showed up, right? And what about the polls? Trump had no chance against Hillary, right? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Grow? What have your been snorting - Draino?

It is an accomplishment that at this moment the majority of dumb Americans can name the President!

In a week no one is going to be protesting except some hairy lesbos.

The war was over before it began. The rich have controlled America since day 1 and nothing is changing except that they are being more open about it now.

This brought you out of posting retirement?

he was democratically elected. Sounds like all these trump haters prefer a dictatorship instead. Hey, there's another fascist trait! Surprising.

more like 54% voted against Trump ..

but in a world of 'alternate facts' ....

Why are you lying?

The population is 319 million

63 million voted Trump

19.7% of the population voted for Trump.

Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million.

trump got democratically elected.

anyone who protests hates democracy.

the end.

FALSE

TRUE

You don't comprehend English very well Dutch boy. Thank you foreigner for supporting America's continued #1 position in world domination :thumbsup

whine about popular vote, the way the wind blew or that the easter bunny went to a stripclub that day.

FACT: trump was democratically elected.

You still don't understand American politics.

Trump whined today about losing the popular vote. Without evidence, Trump tells lawmakers 3 million to 5 million illegal ballots cost him the popular vote

Clearly you don't understand the impact of losing the popular vote and only 306 votes in the Electoral College anointing you the leader.

There is much importance to Trump being thrashed in the popular vote that you as a foreigner still don't understand. It's called a MANDATE. No popular vote = no mandate. No mandate = weaker leader.

If you really cared about American politics you'd learn the terminology before showing your ignorance. You have a king & queen. We have more complex advanced Democratic Republic politics :2 cents:

lol they lost, trump will not MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

you know maybe i was wrong about trump. looks like he is using biz skills to do things. i hope iam wrong about my negative look on him. the wall shit is not needed if you sanction businesses and housing that cater to illegals. they will turn them away if they are facing fines and jail. :2 cents::2 cents:
congratzz on 50 grand if i miss it :)

FACT: Trump was democratically elected.

Funny how they show up in droves thinking they have a voice & demanding to be to be heard. They were sure of it. They were certain something would be done. Nothing. The opposite happened. That's pretty funny. 1.they shoukd be thankful they've got this far. 2. Pull out tits. 3. My coffee is cold

Nope.

Democratic win is winner by most votes.

Democratic Republic is win by most electoral college votes.

All USA elections are Democratic, from dog catcher to governer, most votes win. The only Democratic Republic election in USA is President/vice president.

AGAIN I am teaching a foreigner, who lives in a monarchy, how American elections and Democratic Republic works!

ThisNation.com--Is the United States a democracy? No

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.e91d16926a18

The United States is not a direct democracy, in the sense of a country in which laws (and other government decisions) are made predominantly by majority vote. [..] But we are a representative democracy, which is a form of democracy.

Again, this foreigner is teaching someone from the US how his own country works.

Trump was democratically elected.
