(CNN) Nearly seven million protesters, about two million more than in June, gathered today for the second round of “No Kings” demonstrations, organizers said, in broad opposition to what they described as President Donald Trump’s “authoritarian” agenda. Protesters rallied across more than 2,700 US cities and towns Saturday.

The widespread rallies were largely peaceful, police said, with many large cities reporting no protest-related incidents or arrests.

1. If CNN said it was 7 million, it was probably more like 10 million.

2. 7 million out of 340 million. I don't get how complacent Americicans are.

4. but don't forget the people who, like us, are supportive, but too old, or impaired, to physically do this.

I did my fair share of marching to 1) end the Vietnam War and 2) to support women's rights (ERA, reproductive rights). Hubby did the same. We and many, many others. And our kids and grandkids are very supportive of them. We raised them right.

5. We are a big part of it. My coming into adult life was struggling against the war; for human rights, and discovering ...

that politics in the end is nothing but discovering areas of compromise we can live with.

Now I am getting ready to leave my adulthood and the struggle is still there, the issues have skewed a little both directions, but they're still there.

3. What does "largely peaceful" mean?

They must have done some serious investigating to find an incident somewhere they could point to.
