140,000 attend a Zoom call/livestream. Not a mass demonstration, but it’s a start. Note the heavy presence of Democratic Party speakers.
WASHINGTON—More than 140,000 people, assembled by the Working Families Party and allies via Zoom, began planning mass resistance to Republican MAGA President-elect Donald Trump and his plans to replace U.S. democracy and the Constitution with fascistic programs and policies. Speakers at that massive meeting, two days after Trump won the November election and control of the Senate, underscored the urgency of combatting the Trumpites. It was one of several mass meetings called by various groups strategizing on how to combat Trump and his MAGA movement in the wake of their election win. African-American and Latino groups convened some of the sessions.

The group held a mass call/livestream titled “Making Meaning in the Moment” attended and viewed by 140,000 people. As one participant wrote, ‘The dominant politics were for all-out resistance to a Trump administration and re-centering progressives in the multiracial, gender-inclusive working class.” If the protest movement becomes massive in the streets, Trump has said he is prepared to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1792, that authorizes the president to use the U.S. military within the United States to suppress rebellion or domestic violence.
