They didn't even draw enough people to that protest to make a decent photo. It's why the sign covers 3/4 of it.

The sign could also be used as an example of "liberals can't meme." What the heck does "Trump hates green chile and the Constitution" even mean?

Used to see this all the time when I was in Austin. Thirteen or fourteen people show up for some stupid protest, and the TV station would spend ten minutes organizing them so they could get a shot that looked like a big crowd.

Yup, I’ve seen that. Another trick that TV “journalists” use when the protesters number less than a dozen, is to have them march in a circle, while the TV camera is set on the ground on the inside of the circle looking out, showing only the lower halves of the protesters. They can do this for quite some time while the narrator drones on & on, to make it look like there are 100s of protesters. They just have to ensure that none of the marchers is wearing anything so distinctive down below that the average viewer would quickly notice that: “Hey, how come I keep seeing that dude or dudette with the purple bell-bottoms over & over?”
