The same percentage as are at any other public rally on any issue.

Studies have shown* that the average IQ at liberal public rallies is around 150, while the average IQ at a conservative rally is around 75. The threshold for morons is 80. Fact.

do you guys believe like Joe Biden that “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed.”

Talk about selective photo editing. Those trees in the bottom left of the top picture are maybe 1/4 of the way from the actual front of the field when you compare it to the bottom picture. If you (Snorri) will accept that there were maybe 100,000 people there from the photo you posted, how many people must there be when looking at the bottom photo? 5 times as many? 10 times?

You obviously don't seem to understand what I'm talking about.

The angle of the photo makes a tremendous difference. The photo you guys keep bringing up is absolute shite for counting the number of people there. It makes an estimate anywhere between 50k and 500k plausible.


The point of my photo was not to show an estimate, but to show that crowd-density makes a huge difference. I didn't guess it was 100k based on that photo, I wanted to point out that a bigger figure requires a higher crowd density. It is incredibly important for an estimate.

Even if you apply the crowd density of the photo you provided to the one of the full crowd, 100,000 people is way too small.

here is a video of what it looked like under the trees

Interesting side note. The reflecting pool next to the Lincolk Memorial is a lot like the Federal Government. From the distance it looks so beautiful. Stand next to it and it looks like a half drained swimming pool, filled with ugly rocks and reeking of alge. I think when Pelosi once said something about "draining the swamp" most of the congressional aides probably visualized that reflecting pool; it's a swamp.

Added my own personal photo of that "pool" from last year.
