In two days, President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated and return to the Oval Office… and the anti-Trump marches have already begun.
From the Washington Post:Thousands of people gathered in damp, chilly weather Saturday for the People’s March, a protest in Washington of President-elect Donald Trump and the GOP’s policy priorities, which organizers say will undermine the rights of women, immigrants, and social and racial minorities.
Bundled in hats, gloves and scarves, participants started gathering around 10 a.m. at Farragut Square, McPherson Square and Franklin Park, in downtown Washington, with each location focused on specific issues, including democracy, climate, D.C. statehood and bodily autonomy.
Chanting slogans like, “People, people can’t you see, what freedom means for me?” they marched in a cold drizzle toward the Lincoln Memorial, where the reflecting pool was partially frozen, and planned to rally until 3 p.m.
The march, two days before Inauguration Day, was a joint effort among civil rights, racial and social justice, and reproductive health organizations. It comes as the extremely cold temperatures projected for Monday have moved Trump’s swearing-in ceremony indoors to the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
Groups who joined the march include Rising Majority, Popular Democracy, and Democratic Socialists of America.
Some people are seen carrying Palestinian flags. And one sign reads, “Socialism beats fascism!”

Multiple videos posted to social media show the liberal protesters marching through the streets, carrying signs and chanting.
“We will not go back!” the mob is heard chanting.
“Hey, hey, ho, ho, Elon Musk has got to go!” they are also yelling in unison.

Another march is being held in New York City:
Remember the “women’s march” which attracted over 3 million pu$$y hat wearing freaks back in 2017?
It’s now called the “people’s march” & they’re only expecting around 2K in Foley Square, NYC today. How embarrassing!!😂👇 pic.twitter.com/fti8EFc4mm

The People’s March is now going on in NYC. It’s lackluster with only around 2,000 people.
Even liberals are mostly over this nonsense. You can feel how weak the energy is here.
