As America takes a huge gulp and moves forward towards one of the biggest changes it's ever had to endure, half the country looks down in shame, and the other half is a bit too excited for reasons that leave many confused. As President Trump arrives in D.C., many gather together in hopes of displaying their last attempt of displaying their disapproval towards him before he's actually president, and the protests had been forming way before the actual inauguration, in hopes of sending one last message before Trump was officially president.
And on January 20, multiple protestors all with different purposes took a stand alongside each other, but not all supporting one another. There was a women's march, which hundreds of thousands of men and women joined in the hope of establishing better human rights in our society. There was the anti-Trump protestors, and his supporters clashed in DC Saturday. In case it isn't already plain, not to mention shocking, I would argue Trump's Inauguration Day was by far the most historic.
At over 2.6 million people, the Women's March will go down in history and broke a record for largest group walking. If there's one, big message to take away from Inauguration Day, and all the following events, it's that America has a lot of action to take, and that we are far from everyone ideal and peaceful world. Hopefully, the violence and despair will turn towards more positive actions, but judging by the way people reacted, it will continue long after the inauguration. Half of America is still practically at war with the other half, and on Saturday, the season finale of the horrific election concluded all the built-up emotions, all of the different opinions, and ultimately what this country has truly turned into. Right now, America needs to stay strong, but these next few years are going to be a battle for many of us.
