As the left wing media continues to hype anti-Trump protests like the Women’s March, the crowd sizes continue to get smaller and smaller. For instance, in Washington DC, during the 2017 Women’s March, when Linda Sarsour clown show began, there were hundreds of thousands of leftists out in full force protesting Trump, carrying anti-Semitic signs and getting the attention of the media. Yesterday’s “crowd” in DC got about 10,000 people, or about half as many people who typically attend a Trump rally. People are getting tired of the communist Democrat BS, and it’s showing in the crowd sizes. People may have been easily fooled in 2017 but not anymore.

The first Women’s March was in 2017, only one day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration. That march drew hundreds of thousands of people, with crowds wrapping up the entirety of the National Mall.
This year’s march was expected to have 10,000, a sharp decline since that 2017 rally. Rita Brock from rlington, Virginia said she suspects the smaller crowd size could be a result of multiple movements.

“Well, it’s been shrinking ad you know, that just tends to happen,” Brock said. “You get one huge thing and then people splinter off and go into other movements.”She said despite fewer people coming, she said the marches are one of the reasons behind so many more women getting into politics.
“The march was a sign of what was happening to women politically, that we could see our rights were being threatened and so more and more women ran for office,” Brock said.
Other anti-Trump rallies, like the handful the popped up after Trump and the US military took out Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani are also dropping.
Days after President Donald Trump killed an Iranian general and said he was sending more soldiers to the Middle East, about 100 protesters stood on a pedestrian bridge over Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive with an illuminated sign that read “No War in Iran.”
Some 200 people marched in the bitter cold near Boston, while a few dozen people demonstrated on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall and at similarly sized gatherings across the U.S.
Three years after Trump took office and millions of people swarmed to the Women’s March in Washington and companion marches across the country, these typically modest protests are often the most visible sign of today’s Trump resistance.
Activists say the numbers should not be mistaken for a lack of energy or motivation to vote Trump out of office come November.
The anti-Trump movement of 2020, they say, is more organized and more focused on action. Many people have moved from protesting to knocking on doors for candidates, mailing postcards to voters, advocating for specific causes or running for office.
But the movement that sprung up to oppose Trump’s presidency also is more splintered than it was when pink-hatted protesters flooded Washington the day after his inauguration for what is generally regarded as the largest protest in the city since the Vietnam era. There have been schisms over which presidential candidates to back in 2020, as well as disagreements about race and religion and about whether the march reflected the diversity of the movement. Those divisions linger even as many on the left say they need a united front heading into November’s election.
