I’m guessing 30-60k, based on the density of participants and their initial estimates on crowd size. They expected 200k and most seats were empty as they grew more distant. Why would you prepare for 5-10x your projected crowd? No, they just had a poor showing between the weather and the approval rating.
10x more people just trolling than actual attendees.
I’d almost bet they wanted the fake sign ups to happen too, just to have a fake number to point to. I do love the spirit of fucking with their resources though.
Absolutely did. They considered cutting the parade short because of it, so it was at least unpleasant. I’m not going to misattribute trump’s successes and failures. Internet people on the left were dumbfounded by trump’s electoral success, and I attempt to avoid following in their footsteps.

Because a lot of actually-cool trolls signed up for the parade with no intention of actually attending
I did my part!
That’s genius lol

Because Trump is a megalomaniac surrounded by toadies, and nobody was willing to tell him that his turnout expectations were bullshit.
not to mention, I saw a news report where people went to the parade just because of their ties to the army, and not to see the presidential nonsense.
While it’s safe to assume that the people who’d go to a Trump parade are pretty dense, I’m not sure how you can tell that from a picture.
I don’t think the weather had anything to do with it.
