Trump's Second Inauguration and Public Reaction
Donald Trump's second inauguration marked a significantly different tone compared to his first, highlighted by a notable absence of public protests and outward displays of resistance. Many noted a sense of resignation among the public, contrasting sharply with the fervent protests witnessed during his initial rise to power. This change suggests a shift in the political landscape, where the previously organized resistance has waned, possibly reflecting disillusionment or fatigue among those who opposed him. Historian Heather Cox Richardson pointed out that previous anti-Trump movements felt dissipated, leading to a political environment with less visible outrage after his return to the presidency.
