There were estimates upwards of 300K people there to peacefully protest, that some people decided to enter the building does not negate the protesting. Even if social media calls for the arrest and ostracisation of everyone within a 5 mile radius.
- tyleo 6y agoI think you should back that claim up with data. 200K people were at The Women’s March in 2017 which is thought to be the largest US protest: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/02/07/this-is-what-we-learned-by-counting-the-womens-marches/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/02/0... Regardless, I stand by my words, “the activity at the Capitol clearly went beyond the bounds of what I’d call a protest.” I have less concern about what people outside of the Capitol were doing.
