And most of them don’t fly in to Dulles, either. On the East Coast, if you’re not local you either take a train downtown or (for big protests) buses which drop you as near as they’re allowed to get to the Mall, while suburban folks are going to catch Metro at the edge of the District and locals will catch it near home. (I once had to walk ~1/4 of the way across the District, because apparently the Metro stopped at some silly hour on weeknights and I’d been getting dinner across town on one business trip.)
Trump’s Metro numbers include
people going to work, not to the event
people who went to the protest, not to the coronation.
local working people who skipped work and went to the protest or coronation
local working people who avoided downtown, made up for by people attending the events.
Republicans from out of town who think the subway is a scary hive of criminal black people and drove their coal-rolling pickup trucks downtown, imagining they’d find parking.
And Saturday? That included a few dozen haters and a few million good people.
Uh, try to keep up LIBTARD, inauguration day means that was the day Trump BECAME PRESIDENT, which means that was the day all us REAL AMERICANS all got jobs again.
I know that the buses used them – I used them for that purpose (until some time in 2003, when they ditched the tokens). I still have a bag of them somewhere.
Right? How dare they care about climate change and reducing individual fossil fuel consumption when according to Trump’s America there is NO such thing as Clinate Change. We should just start bathing in crude oil it is so safe!
