'Silence Not an Option': Calls Grow to Disrupt Trump Inauguration
'Silence Not an Option': Calls Grow to Disrupt Trump Inauguration
Nadia Prupis

The call to disrupt President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration is growing with the help of documentary filmmaker and activist Michael Moore, who on Wednesday tweeted a grassroots group's plans for direct actions on January 20, 2017.

Although Trump won the Electoral College, his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton took the popular vote by more than 2 million—which means Trump will enter office with low ratings and no mandate. Grassroots activists organizing a mobilization known as #DisruptJ20 are hoping to call attention to this dynamic through a series of protests, direct actions, and other events on inauguration day.

The organizers, known as the D.C. Counter-Inaugural Welcoming Committee, "call on all people of good conscience to join in disrupting the ceremonies. If Trump is to be inaugurated at all, let it happen behind closed doors, showing the true face of the security state Trump will preside over. It must be made clear to the whole world that the vast majority of people in the United States do not support his presidency or consent to his rule."

2. We have to do something. We can't just let it happen as if we are okay with this.

Have to make sure the world knows the majority of us do not support this joke.

3. Book up the hotel rooms and then cancel just before the deadline?

Switch the decaf and caffeinated labels on the hotel coffee carafes?

Post bogus directions to the inauguration online and on twitter?

Post the wrong time on twitter?

Suffer a "breakdown" in your car on the main area on ramps, off ramps and access roads?

Post directions to the open carry rally at the white house in the afternoon?

Post directions to the "best" restaurants in the city in the roughest parts of town?

Post bogus traffic alerts to waze?

No fake news, no fake anything, no violence, just the people telling the truth and standing their principled ground.

5. The Women's March Jan 21 is a great idea, disrupting the inauguration on the 20th is a BAD idea

Disrupting on the 20th will only help Trump

15. i don't think it's a bad idea

i do think it will be portrayed that way in the media. gwbush's inauguration was accompanied by an absolutely huge protest and most people don't even know it happened.

i also think you will not be able to keep the people away. this is the sacred 1st amendment right in action.

i'll be in DC for the women's march the next day but hope to take my granddaughter sightseeing away from the crowds on the 20th.

last thought: i read that trump's team had been granted all the space around the inauguration to either permit protests or not. if that's true, i'm thinking it would be a "not." because they don't give a rat's ass about the constitution.

6. Let them spin it!

Let them spin it how they want to, it is important to be out in the streets, Trumpsters are gonna do what they do no matter what. Don't be afraid of how they will spin it. My god, the whole world is watching. Time to stand up1

9. What do we do if we can't be there?

Wear black everywhere? Could there be a color of ribbon everyone would wear orca color of a banner or balloon we could tie to every tree?

Maybe something like purple for protest? Or would bright blue be better?

Maybe hats since it will be cold?

If we could organize an idea early enough we get a site that does custom merchandise to sell huge quantities?

If all these people leave their Mothers' basements to go protest, there could be as many as a couple hundred or so!...

     On Inauguration Day, there will be silent threads on DU, and basements rank with Cheeto farts. They won't do a damned thing except howl and make up stories about people they converted at the gas station.

     In other words, Inauguration Day will be Every Other Day.

The DUmmies have this fantasy that Inauguration Day will be like the climax of V for Vendetta, as they flood the National Mall with their Guy Fawkes masks and Zorro costumes.

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Pink, from head to toe, would be the obvious color.
