Like other resistance protests, and like previous gun-control marches, the March for Our Lives was mostly women. Whereas the 2017 Women’s March was 85 percent women, the March for Our Lives was 70 percent women.

Further, participants were highly educated; 72 percent had a BA or higher.
Contrary to what’s been reported in many media accounts, the D.C. March for Our Lives crowd was not primarily made up of teenagers. Only about 10 percent of the participants were under 18.
The average age of the adults in the crowd was just under 49 years old, which is older than participants at the other marches I’ve surveyed but similar to the age of the average participant at the Million Moms March in 2000, which was also about gun control.

Here’s who actually attended the March for Our Lives. (No, it wasn’t mostly young people.)

So basically Oprah-watching, Chardonnay-from-the-box-sipping, Xanax-popping women were the attendees . It gets better:

 This group was less politically engaged in general: Only about a third of them had contacted an elected official in the past year, while about three-quarters of the more seasoned protesters had.

Not good. At least I hope to get 50% on our side to be making calls and sending emails. to our elected congresscritters.

Even more interesting, the new protesters were less motivated by the issue of gun control. In fact, only 12 percent of the people who were new to protesting reported that they were motivated to join the march because of the gun-control issue, compared with 60 percent of the participants with experience protesting.
Instead, new protesters reported being motivated by the issues of peace (56 percent) and Trump (42 percent), who has been a galvanizing force for many protests.

Liberalism is composed of many tribes with conflicting interests but sure love to party outside. This is basically a DC version of the Burning Man without the heat, the dust, the fire and the walking porn.

 

But unsurprisingly, it was still a very liberal crowd: 79 percent identified as “left-leaning” and 89 percent reported voting for Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, there is consensus across the board for Gun Control. I can see that.

Still, keep your guard up. This article going to be as well received as the news that the alleged 800,000 attendees the organizers claimed that came to march, were in fact only 200,000. Bloomberg/Joyce Foundation et al will still try to influence the People and its representatives.

I hope I am wrong, but the idea of a Bloody Shirt Incident to come is nagging the heck out of my guts.

  1. “72 percent had a BA or higher.”
    A BA in what? Basket Weaving? Gender Studies? Something else useless?
