   Sure, organizers oftentimes overestimate and hopium their crowd sizes. But even still.

     @JessTheUnstill I've seen estimates from 4 million to 12 million. So maybe 5 million is not on the hopium end.

     So organizers of No Kings Day are estimating over 5 million people protested yesterday.

     And credible research shows that 3.5% historically is a threshold that regime change becomes extremely likely. That would be appx 12 million people in the US.

     So we're not there yet, but if everyone brought 1 or 2 people next time, and and engagement stayed high over time ... A slide into Emperor Trump isn't inevitable. Regime change isn't nearly as far off as it might appear.
