Will this be considered a stain in American history?

[The Stormbringer]

Wouldn't it be fantastic if all the moderates from the Democrats and the Republicans came together and made their own party with what few Independents there are? That'd be fuckin' swell.

Some people have slept through the last 100 years, it seems.

And now we have the first american fascist president who used racist bigotry to win his first and probably last democratic vote with the help from russian propaganda forming the alt righ movement in 2 years.

Isnt that worth a visit?

You know, when hitler was voted into office, million people attended his public propaganda show.Future dictators often act like a people magnet.

I think you need to take another look at the history books...

[Rooflesstoofless]

It's going to be like the 60's when you had far left groups bombing restaurants and gunning people down. Look how we remember those stains.

He didnt have more than Obama (at least at DC) but Im sure it was way more than 250k



This is Clintons 2nd and it had 250k


This is Trumps easily way more than 250k

Certainly less than the 500,000 protestors that were protesting today, but pay no attention to people disproving you easily with pictures with better angles.

Well, congratulations to all you Trump voters. I really hope that Trump destroys all the great things Obama did for you, so you can see the huge mistake you made. America has always been insane, but you've really outdone yourselves this time.

What did Obama do for me?

[Cyberowl]

The Trump administration press secretary literally lied to the press, on the first day of work, while his boss is still repeating the lying press narrative.

*stain intensifies*

There were 9 billion people there only such a high number is worthy of your god-king, all hail his orange highness.

[Slant]

Forgive us. Please.

We'll clean up our own mess.

Sorry that I have to do this to you, but after the desaster that followed the Middle East, I'm not giving much on that sentiment from you guys. Your track record of cleaning up after yourselves is as bad as your track record of cleaning up after other people's messes is good. What's more likely is that your co-citizens will not only not clean it up, they'll pretend it was all meant from the beginning. The more reasonable ones like you will say it doesn't have an affect on your nation, and it won't. But it'll stay a mess.

It's up to your politicians to make sure it doesn't get more of a mess. The people have decided and now it's out of their hands. The best thing you lot can do is remind people that they can only blame themselves and have a chance to rectify the mistake in 4 years.

[Cyberowl]

No, you missed something:
The press secretary is going crazy while Trump is having an ego-trip in front of a memorial wall.

I think we can close the thread now, the answer is questioned.

I'm honestly just waiting for someone trying to spin this one. The press secretary delivering an easily refutable lie.

It's not a joke anymore, it's the current administration. Even though Trumpets will try to deflect with Hillary, memes and twitter talking points, because that is all they are capable of, it will lose effectiveness rather fast now.

Trump's entire platform now is who are you going to believe me or reality, his worshipers ranks will continue to thin more and more.

The Inaugural committee estimates between 700k-800k people showed up out of the 900k expected. That's more than the 500k that showed up today which includes protestors, counter protestors and agitators. That would give him the highest numbers of any Republican perhaps even tied for third with Clinton's first inauguration which brought in 800k.

Trump had 30.6 million people watch on TV Obama had 37.8 million Regan had 41.8 million watch on TV.

I think today's protests shows that the majority of Americans are going to fight like hell against Trump in the weeks and months ahead. That's largely by what I mean by clearning up the mess.

His supporters will of course, retcon their reason for backing Trump in order to save face. But as I've been saying for months now, there will be two groups of people when this is all over: those who voted for Trump and those who didn't, and it is a moral test for every American.

60 million Americans failed that moral test. They'll have to live with that the rest of their lives. And many will do so by pretending that a little short term chaos to disrupt the status quo is all they ever wanted. But the other 140 million eligible voters who either did not vote, or voted for Hillary, have clean hands. We will clean up our own mess. Domestically, we certainly have before.

The inaugural comitee lied. The estimates from any other reputable source says that it was around 250-300k at most. Which is not bad per se, but is funny because of trump egocentrism problems

The inaugural committee is pretty much just making up a number.

But that's fine. The protests today still utterly dwarfed Trump's little show and parade.

Jesus, let the small handed cuck have his 800k crowd. You don't need to adapt Trump's strategy and call everything a lie. It still pales in comparison to Obama and to today's nation wide protests.

A majority of Americans have already gone back to not giving a shit.

Dude. It's almost like your account has been hacked since Trump won. Much hyperbole.

No, I do not like Trump.

You voted for Bush didn't you? You supported the Iraq war with "thunderous applause" did you now?

I'm just saying.
