Minnesota saw 14,000 in Saint Paul.  Doing a quite reasonable and complicated mathematical calculation based on the population of state capitals in all fifty states yields.

Approximately 4,120,200 people. I won't bore you with the details.





* So skip it if you wish :

1. Base Attendance:

    St. Paul, Minnesota: 14,000 attendees (representing 4.67% of the population of 300,000).

2. Adjustment Factors:
    Commuting Distance:
        States with short commutes (less than 20 miles/day) saw an increase in attendance by 20%.
        States with average commutes (20-30 miles/day) had no adjustment.
        States with long commutes (over 30 miles/day) saw a 20% decrease in attendance.
    Demographics:
        States with younger populations saw an increase in attendance by 20%.
        States with average demographics had no adjustment.
        States with older populations saw a 10% decrease in attendance.
    Political Engagement:
        States with high political engagement (active political participation) saw an increase of 15%.
        States with average political engagement had no adjustment.
        States with low political engagement saw a 10% decrease in attendance.
3. Factors for State Capitals:
    Each state capital was analyzed based on:
        Commuting distance (e.g., urban vs. rural).
        Demographic characteristics (e.g., younger population, more urban, more liberal).
        Political engagement (e.g., history of activism, high civic participation).
4. Formula for Adjusted Attendance:
Adjusted Attendance=Base Attendance×Commute Factor×Demographic Factor×Political Factor
    This was applied for each state capital.
5. Total Calculation:
    The attendance was adjusted for each of the 50 state capitals, then summed to give the total estimate of 4,120,200 attendees.
This calculation considered commuting behavior, demographics, and political factors for each state capital to create a more nuanced estimate of protest participation across the U.S.

The model says Phoenix should have double the turnout.  Dumpster diving across a few Arizona news sources showed that appeared to be the case.

Now would be a good time for Trump and Musk to show their love for the American people.  Drop in at a local Mickey Ds or dine at a Dennys.



Order a McSnitch or have a Denny steak.  Ask the people, ' Hows things going ?

Trump definitely gets results.  That's the problem.

RE

Well....he certainly has caused heartburn and wild enthusiusm among folks, and what he says and does has consequences, but results....those need a frame of reference. If stopping the "invasion" of America is a "result", but the consequences could be higher food prices because 'MURIKANS aren't about to work for the wages paid to pick fruit, what!?!?! Get DIRTY!!! HOT! I'll sweat!

Americans are such pussys nowadays, and we raised our kids that way.

No Trump in the second picture.  Trump did not have the cards, and he was not playing with a full deck.  Sycophancy wraps Trump like a warm blanket in Washington.  International relations are a different game.  In that game Trump is out of sync and will sink.

the most effective people in his cabinet also know better than to try giving him any long explanations verbally.

Effective people in a Trump cabinet is an oxymoron.

There is one exception.  While not effective, Trump can keep up with the short guy.

Goodness, who ever assumed the guy could think in the first place? He has some kind of quality, persona maybe, that occasionally looks like a non-chimp intelligence level, but the instant it is tested in some way..."gee Mr President, you said XXX, what did you mean?" subject changing slogans and psychobabble bullshit is what comes back.

And that is why when they say in the article that Trump says he hasn't read Agenda 2025, I believe him.

I can as well. Chris Christy gets on TV every Sunday morning and says that's the one thing he doesn't ever do. Read.

I think the most effective people in his cabinet also know better than to try giving him any long explanations verbally.

Big font titles on glossy pictures of stuff is probably about as close as they get to passing along "information" to his diminished level of...firing neurons.
