Also, how this is included in history textbooks is really important. The Tea Party is discussed now in most major U.S. history textbooks, and it even appears in the World Civilizations (!) textbook that we use on my campus. It's afforded that much significance.
The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency.
The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

We are headed into an unprecedented authoritarian moment this weekend. A military parade in DC will be countered by 2000+ protests around the country. This tense dynamic can't balance on the knife’s edge for long. Where it falls—toward tyranny or democracy—depends on us.
