What’s more, across our land, they went off overwhelmingly peacefully.  There were a few isolated clashes between protestors and counterprotestors and/or police. So few as to be less frequent than your average disturbance call rate from a Bar Crawl in Pittsburgh on a Friday night.

Quite simply, if these data hold, yesterday was remarkable. And comparing our turnout with the abject failure of Trump’s wannabe fascist parade, well, it was a good day.
