Donald Trump's second inauguration will see a less vocal opposition compared to his first term. The lack of large-scale protests reflects fatigue among the left and a shift in strategy by Democrats and activists. Instead of outrage-driven resistance, they aim to highlight the tangible effects of Trump's policies on working-class Americans, focusing on issues like social safety nets, tariffs, and conflicts of interest within his administration.
WASHINGTON ― When Donald Trump took the presidential oath of office in 2017, he was met by angry protests of more than 4 million people across the country, a sustained movement that dedicated itself to resisting his administration in the name of women’s rights and civil rights.
“People in 2017 were deeply uncertain about what a Trump presidency would mean and wanted to raise their voices to try to influence them,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren explained to HuffPost. “This time, Trump and his tight band of billionaires have made pretty clear what the fights will be, and that’s less about protests in the streets and more about the hard, inch-by-inch fighting over tax policy and environmental regulations and building permits.
“It’s like, mid-December, and I’m getting ready to get on the elevator, and, oh, Donald Trump just said he wants to, you know, he might invade Greenland,” Sen. Tina Smith recalled of learning about the president-elect’s idea last month to buy the Arctic territory from Denmark.
