These included over 200,000 in New York and over 100,000 in Philadelphia, plus some small towns with sizable crowds for their populations, including the town of Pentwater, Michigan, which saw 400 people join the protest in their 800-person town, the No Kings coalition said.”
There were over 2000 protest locations alone. Thousands would mean that an average of 1-5 people showed up at each location which you can find plenty, plenty, plenty of photos to prove otherwise. For instance, you can find places with hundreds turning out in deep red small towns
My town had hundreds at several intersections. People rotating in and out all day. Cars constantly blaring horns. Just a little suburb.
My town was thousands. It was very inspiring
Edit: yep, I’m seeing estimates of 2,000 for my town
