    No, we haven’t hit 10,000,000 yet. About 12,000,000 is the magic number to reach 3.5% and possibly reach a Tipping Point that becomes a national trend.

    I submit that we are already there. No Kings is a literal DEMONSTRATION of our numbers, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. There are MILLIONS of people at home, who are just as committed, but will not participate in a protest for many reasons. That does not mean they are less committed, just that the physical act of protesting isn’t possible for some reason.

    And No Kings is too infrequent. If that’s all we had, we’d be screwed. Even more important are people talking to their families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, encouraging their resistance, and spreading the word person by person, as well as online. That keeps the resistance growing between Demonstrations, so each No Kings protest grows, and freaks out MAGA each time.

    We’ve already blown past that 3.5%, and we’re heading for Midterms.
