The Loons Are Coming! Anti-Trump Protests Gear Up in DC Ahead of Inauguration

By Bob Hoge | 9:42 PM on January 18, 2025

   
There's a famous line from the film "On Golden Pond" by the great Katharine Hepburn: "The loons! The loons! They're welcoming us back."

Well, the loons are back in D.C., but they're not here to welcome Donald Trump as he prepares for his inauguration on Monday; they're here to scream, thrash, make a commotion, and just generally behave like escaped mental patients.
 
It's not like they haven't done it before—remember 2017, when they engaged in tasteless P-Hat protests around the city and the nation as a whole? So brave. (Warning: some of the signs and slogans are profane and nasty.)

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
