    I have seen pumpkin patches having bigger turnout than this single ride State Fair.

    Wow. There’s a part of me that feels sad, because any empty event is a weird empty liminal space. There’s a much larger part of me that says who did you make this for and maybe that’s why.

    Pride parades have been hugely attended. Interesting what happens when everyone feels welcome and accepted.

    Then also, I had never heard about this until after it started. Where was the marketing team for this? Heard more about the redneck brawl-ma-geddon bs than I heard about this.

      There was a fair planned with bipatrisan support by Smithsonian. Trump pulled it and gave money to his friends and you got this.

    Do you have to pay to go to this or can anyone just walk up? Because that’s fucking nobody for being on the national mall.
