    This is a very small number of people mobilizing to defend their rights.

    In France when we had the demonstration against the change of retirement age, the mobilization lasted over 4 months and every protest accounted from 300k up to 1.2M participants across the country (official numbers, multiply by 3 if you want the Union’s number).

    The situation is several orders of magnitude more serious in the USA at the moment. I find it very strange, concerning and sad, that people over there seems to just accept their fate, just watch their 300 yo democracy collapse into totalitarianism in a few days.
