and haul him off? Each and every day he proves he's totally detached from reality. What has happened to this country that this insanity is allowed to go on? Seriously, WTH?

I'd say there were more than 1000 people there. How many more, I don't know. Obviously, nowhere remotely close to 45,000. To be fair, the original bluesky post is wrong. NBC did NOT estimate "1,000 tops". They estimated "more than 1000".
