Activists Are Hoping To Turn Donald Trump’s Inauguration On January 20th Into One Of The Biggest Riots In U.S. History

By Michael Snyder
inauguration-white-house-photo-by-chuck-kennedyRadical leftists are planning to make January 20th the most chaotic Inauguration Day in American history.  Their stated goal is to “disrupt” the Inauguration festivities as much as possible, and they are planning a wide range of “actions” to achieve that stated goal.  Some of the more moderate groups are using terms such as “civil resistance” and “civil disobedience”, but others are openly talking about “blockades”, jumping barricades, throwing projectiles and “citywide paralysis”.  My hope is that all of their efforts will turn out to be a big flop, but it is important to understand that these groups are well funded, highly organized and extremely motivated.  The election of Donald Trump has been perhaps the single most galvanizing moment for the radical left in modern American history, and they are working very hard to turn January 20th into a major political statement.
In fact, just recently one activist group took out a full page ad in the New York Times

Thousands of activists, journalists, scientists, entertainers, and other prominent voices took out a full-page call to action in the New York Times on Wednesday making clear their rejection of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence with the simple message: “No!”
“Stop the Trump/Pence regime before it starts! In the name of humanity we refuse to accept a fascist America!” the ad states, followed by a list of signatories that includes scholar Cornel West; author Alice Walker; Chase Iron Eyes of the Standing Rock Sioux; educator Bill Ayers; poet Saul Williams; CNN‘s Marc Lamont Hill; Carl Dix of the Communist Party USA; and numerous others.

The ad pointed people to refusefascism.org, and it asserted that Trump must be stopped whether he was legitimately elected or not

Trump promises to inflict repression and suffering on people in this country, to deport millions, to increase violence up to the use of nuclear weapons on people across the globe, and to inflict catastrophes upon the planet itself. He has assembled a cabinet of Christian fundamentalist fanatics, war mongers, racists, science deniers. NO! His regime must not be allowed to consolidate. We REFUSE to accept a Fascist America!

If you go to refusefascism.org, you will discover that the protests that they are organizing in Washington D.C. will begin on January 14th.  They say that they want to “stop the Trump-Pence regime before it starts”, and they hope to have protests going “every day and every night” without interruption through at least January 20th.
Another group that plans to kick things off on January 14th is DisruptJ20.  Of course that is short for “Disrupt January 20th”.  If you go to their official website, you will find a long slate of events that have already been scheduled.
According to Legba Carrefour, a spokesperson for DisruptJ20, one of the goals of the group is to block major transportation routes into and throughout our nation’s capital.  And he is not shy about the fact that they literally want to “shut down the Inauguration”

“We are planning to shut down the inauguration, that’s the short of it,” he says. “We’re pretty literal about that, we are trying to create citywide paralysis on a level that I don’t think has been seen in D.C. before. We’re trying to shut down pretty much every ingress into the city as well as every checkpoint around the actual inauguration parade route.”

If Carrefour and his fellow conspirators are able to actually accomplish that, it truly would be unprecedented.
And while DisruptJ20 is not publicly advocating violence, they are not exactly discouraging it either…

Carrefour says DisruptJ20 has no publicly announced plans to jump barricades along the inauguration parade route or throw projectiles at the new president, but that autonomous direct actions are encouraged.
“I can’t comment on specific stuff we’re doing like that, mostly because that would be illegal. But, yeah, it will get pretty crazy, I expect,” he says. “‘Have fun!’ I say.”

After the rioting that we have seen in Baltimore, Ferguson, Charlotte and many other communities around the nation in recent years, I hope that authorities are taking these threats quite seriously.
Once Donald Trump won the election, many conservatives seemed to think that the war was won.  But the truth of the matter is that many on the left were completely blindsided by Trump’s surprise victory, and now that they are fully awake they are gearing up for battle like never before.
And these protests are not going to end on January 20th.  In fact, abortion advocates are hoping to get close to a million women into Washington D.C. on the day following the Inauguration to protest for abortion rights.  Filmmaker Michael Moore is hoping that this march will be the beginning of “100 days of resistance” against Trump’s presidency…

Filmmaker and liberal icon Michael Moore has announced his plans to attend the Women’s March on Washington to protest Donald Trump’s inauguration later this month and has called for sore loser liberals to go further — by staging protests acts of resistance through the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency.

In an appearance, this weekend on MSNBC’s The Last Word, the 62-year-old Trumpland and Fahrenheit 9/11 director made a “call to arms” to those opposed to Trump’s presidency to join the Women’s March on Washington scheduled for January 21, the day after the presidential inauguration.

“It’s important that everybody go there,” Moore told MSNBC’s Ari Melber.

Of course it is easy to imagine how all of this could spiral wildly out of control.  If Trump cracks down on these protests really hard in an attempt to restore law and order, that could end up sparking a dramatic backlash against his “police state tactics”.  And if the protests become even bigger and more violent, Trump could respond by cracking down even more harshly.
Let us hope for some really cold weather in D.C. at the end of January so that as many troublemakers as possible get discouraged and stay home.  Violent protests, blockades and riots aren’t going to solve anything, and they could easily open fresh wounds in a nation that is becoming more divided with each passing day.

  2. “Activists”. Is that what they call themselves? More like Communists, PCers, Snowflakes, Feminazis, Losers, freaks, bums and dupes. Just hand out free Marijuana (BC Bud) and they will forget why they came there in the first place.

  3. Inauguration Day is a Constitutional requirement and a media spectacle as well. As a spectacle, it all started under Truman who was the first to televise it and the show continued since then. As a constitutional requirement, it is stipulated in the 2oth Amendment of the Constitution, that states that a President’s term ends at noon on January 20 after the election. That is it. After mid day Jan 20 Obama is gone. Trump officially in. However, there are details that people must know to understand this communist/liberal prevention of succession of power by blocking the city, i.e. blocking Congress members from attending the Inauguration. It happened once before, and again Truman was the precedent. Here is the tid bit :
    the delayed arrival of members of Congress created a break in succession of Truman’s terms as President. Members of Congress arrived 10 minutes
    late and took another 10 minutes to take their seats. Vice President Alben Barkley was inaugurated at 12:23 and technically served as President for six minutes, until Truman was inaugurated at 12:29.
    Point is, these deluded Snowflakes think that breaking succession of Trump’s term as President by preventing Congress from formally witnessing the succession they have “won”. What they fail to realize is that Mike Pence (neocon preference) would have to be inaugurated – at least until Trump is physically able to do so, as in the case of Truman in 1949. For Trump to not be able to be physically present he would have to die that very day for Pence’s Inauguration to stick.
    Then again, Congress present is just a formality. Not a requisite. Truman’s delay was out of media and television sensibilities (cant start the show until the guests are present), and Constitutionally he was told that if he couldn’t show up his VP would be sworn in until he could. And that is what happened.
    Constitution dioes not say where a President is sworn in. It can be anywhere actually. Truman himself was sworn in in the Cabinet Room at the White House in Washington, D.C. in 1945. Ford was sworn in on August 9, 1974, in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C, LBJ was sworn in in 1963 on an airplane, Coolidge was Inaugurated at his house in Vermont in 1923 Hell it gets better, Andrew Johnson was Inaugurated in a hotel room in Washington DC, the Kirkwood House !!!!! Teddy Roosevelt was Inaugurated at a friend’s house in 1901.
    True compared to Truman, those were national crisis situations. But Trump inauguration could be one id declared so. Once 12 Noon hits Obama is gone and no power at all, and for whatever reason Trump cant show up, Pence is President. And if Trump dies on the way, Pence remains as President. And if they block Pence from being Inaugurated also (which is part of the plan also) then Paul Ryan – Third in Line – is Inaugurated as President until Pence or Trump show up.
    All the Supreme Court or Congress (under McConnel and Ryan) have to do is declare a crisis scenario and Trump can be sworn in wherever he is, like Coolidge, the Johnsons, Roosevelt, Truman himself, Ford.
    These people are stupid. Inauguration Day is just a performance. A President can be sworn in anywhere. Hell, Trump could be inaugurated in Trump Tower if he wanted once Congress of SC declares a Crisis situation. Key is, would anti Trumpers ally with communists and NOT declare emergency, issuing a coup on legally but not yet sworn in President Trump, Trump dies in an “accident” that same day (Pence too depending if the Globalists want him and he sells out) defacto giving the Presidency to Ryan, a Globalist favorite.
    Ahhhhhhhhhhh !!!!! Plot thickens.
    Breibart should run this I think I made a good historical case here.

  4. There will be 5000 National Guard Troops and 3000 cops there to take care of business. The elephant in the room is this: What is Mr. Trump guilty of besides winning to justify this behavior?
