“It was the day before Trump’s inauguration, and his fans were being tested. First, by the fact that all of the regular MAGA faithful who had flocked to D.C. in the tens of thousands had found out, as soon as they arrived, that the inauguration was effectively canceled. The news fell like a series of depressing dominos: First the swearing-in ceremony was moved inside, where only a handful of VIPs could see it; then, the parade was canceled, because it would be too chilly; and then, in what seemed like a final ‘fuck you’, the inaugural committee ordered all of the large video screens removed from the National Mall, so that even if people did want to go stand out in the cold on the big day, they wouldn’t have anything to look at.” (01/21/25)
