Blast from the Past: Resisting Trump the first 23 days of Jan 2017
This video captures the intensity of the all-out wave of protests against Trump and his agenda from Jan 1 through the post-J20 weekend. At that time, Trump was no more powerful than any other incoming President and there was still hope that protests and non-militarized rioting could shut his agenda down.
We were partially effective: the huge scene Project Veritas made about J20 and the Deploraball scared away much of Trump's inaugural spectator turnout. The remaining Trumpers were forcibly kept off the parade route by blockades of almost all the checkpoints, backing up the rest to impassability. This ruined his honeymoon and when combined with the airport protests that started days later may have delayed his Muslim ban by months.
For the first week after J20/2017 in DC, it seemed to be impossible for a protest against Trump to draw less than 1,000 people.
Now things are different: Trump blustered threats during the Uprising in 2020, and now thanks to his far greater knowledge of the levers of power may be able to carry them out.
He has threatened use of the military against protesters presumably starting at J20 itself, though that may pose logistical issues.
Women's march expects about 50,000 people not the 1 million of Jan 2017 for their Jan 18 2025 pre-Inauguration protest in DC. A Palestine protest is scheduled for J20 itself in DC. They will be at serious risk of attack, but if this does occur, the DC National Guard is nowhere near as dangerous as the IOF. Notably they cannot use air power except for recon and cannot use artillery on protesters at all.
