'No Kings' protesters emerge en masse for anti-Trump rallies

[Guno צְבִי]

(Reuters) -Protesters spanning all age groups, many with children and pets in tow, took to the streets en masse for "No Kings" rallies across the United States on Saturday, denouncing what they view as authoritarian tendencies and unbridled corruption of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Organizers expected millions of people to turn out by day's end at more than 2,600 planned rallies in major cities, small towns and suburbs, challenging a Trump-led agenda that has reshaped the government and upended democratic norms with unprecedented speed since he took office in January.

By all accounts, the demonstrations were largely festive, many featuring inflatable characters and marchers dressed in red, white and blue. The demographically mixed crowds included many parents pushing youngsters in strollers alongside elderly participants.

The crowds have grown

That's dodging the question, and my bet is crowds at those protests haven't grown.

Massimo Mascoli, a 68-year-old retired electronic engineer and resident of New Jersey who grew up in Italy, said he was protesting because he is concerned the US is following the same path that his home country did in the last century.

"I am the nephew of an Italian hero that deserted the Mussolini army and joined the resistance," Mr Mascoli said.

"He was tortured and killed by the fascists, and after 80 years, I didn't expect to find fascism again in the United States."

"We cannot count on the Supreme Court, we cannot count on the government," he told the BBC. "We cannot count on the Congress. We have all the legislative, the executive and judiciary that are all against the American people right now. So we are fighting."

The demonstrations against the US president - which Republicans had called "hate America rallies" - were boisterous but peaceful.

I doubt anybody knows.

I doubt anybody knows.

I bet it was < 5% of the total and more likely < 2%.

No way to know.
