    You stop being a fucking moron. Of course it’s a valid measure of public opinion and engagement. The point is to display force relative to the size of the entity being protested. Take the Serbian or Georgian protests. A whole lot more impressive. If you can’t see that no one can help you.

      what’s more impressive for a protest:

      1. 100% of a national population
      2. 5 million from a national population

      Jesus the next thing you’re going to tell me is that a pound of feathers is less than a pound of gold.

      just an update for you since it’s so important that you’re goal posts are moved. multiple sources claim hundreds of protestors showed up in Edinburgh. I’ll (generously) top it out at 1000 protestors nationwide.

      Scotland

      • population 5,500,000
      • trump golf protest 1000
      • per capita 0.00018

      in comparison to the US.

      • population 347,411,739
      • no kings 5,000,000
      • per capita 0.014

      but hey, it’s not a competition.

        When did I say otherwise? Of course you’re not gonna get mass protests in Scotland because a corrupted American rapist goes there surroundes by cops.
