Another thing to remember is that the media turns "tens of thousands" into hundreds for anti-state protests and turns hundreds into "tens of thousands" for color revolutions and Trump rallies
There was an estimated 150k at the DC Palestine protest, they said "a few thousand" lol
thinking about the 2016 primary when Hillary couldn't fill a school gymnasium and Bernie was packing stadiums, and the lying bourgeois media liars would show tight-cropped shots to pretend Hillary had a crowd and never show the instances of a hundred thousand people roaring at Bernie rallies
