I just returned from a No Kings rally....

in conservative Colorado Springs and there were somewhere between 5-10,000 people in attendance. A lot of costumes and very clever and heartfelt signs. There may have been more.

My sign had a drawn picture of a person with duct tape over his mouth and at the top it said, "Silence is Un-American", At the bottom it said, "Speak up for America" and "This sign paid for by: George Soros". I was surprised at the size of the crowd.

I heard 2500. No actual count that I know of but a large crowd. While walking the 13 block perimeter of Vandervere park 4 to 6 deep curb to inside of side walk the whole distance was filled with people. Cars going by honking and calling put support. 3 or four MAGATMOBILES so support was about 98%.
