25. But your argument was that after that FIRST event (that provided counter-programming to the fascist march)

Thursday

the whole thing would essentially collapse and it didn't. Each event after (later in October 2025 and then this past March), it got bigger and bigger and really went global.

I have been to the D.C. metro area many many many times over a 30-some year period and I guarantee that there were events in the area OUTSIDE OF where that damn "parade" was happening.

Where I live in Philly, I am 10 miles from downtown where these types of protests happen, so I am sure there were things that went on that were within 10 miles of downtown D.C. that people in the area could have attended. As it was, it also "rained on that parade" that day too.
