Yeah, sure, 100,000; 300,000 — whatever. All we know is that we heard the same speeches 35 years ago, given by mostly the same people, and the speeches were boring then. The crowds were far larger back then, no matter how the protest fogies try to spin current events. Today’s protest sure wasn’t this:
