    protests during the Vietnam war

    The “No Kings” protests so far have been somewhat larger per capita than the largest Vietnam war-era protests.

    • Vietnam Moratorium (Oct 1969): 2.5 million of 202 million ≈ 1.2% of population.​
    • No Kings October 2025: 5.75 million of ~336 million ≈ 1.7% of population

      Now that I am surprised at. Must of had more morals back then on knowing when to step down.

      Not kidding when they say “absolute power corrupts absolutely”.

      • Or maybe all converge on Washington monument.

      • So more people but spread out on smaller groups?

      So many questions on why nothings being effective…
