This is honestly the first time I’ve seen pretty much anything about it.

    This is being presented as a sort of cover-up, but the fact of the matter is that most protests never get much attention unless they are extraordinary in scale or in regards to any violence, or anything else. There will always be some protests, so that begs the question, is this always newsworthy? Trump is inaugurated and quite some people don’t like this… well aint that surprising? No. I don’t think it’s a cover up, I think it’s deemed rather irrelevant, obvious, nothing out of the ordinary. Had the protests been more massive in scale perhaps that would be different though. Or had people stormed the capitol,. ouch…

    Panama, Mexico, London and Belgium are hardly “THE WORLD 🌎 ™️”

    I’m in Argentina and no one here was protesting about or against Trump.

    Nothing in Venezuela either

    Weird not to see Canada jumping on that action

    Just wait for the German Fasching (Carnival) parades, we will bring back the floats depicting Don taking it up the ass from Vlad.

    BBC Mentioned the one in Washington but it was just as an add on when explaining that it was too cold for trump to have it outside. Doesn’t really matter how big the protests were in America as they literally voted for it.

    Yeah, I participated in the one that was a few days before the inauguration. Heard about it from the front page of the New York Times. I’m pretty sure I heard about the other 700 marches planned for inauguration day here on Lemmy since this is the only social media site I use.

    Did not know. Good to hear. This nitwit is bound to fail or find enough support to take the USA as a dictator.

    An interesting unrelated note is that the average lifespan for a US male was about 77 years in 2022. Also good to hear.

    The BBC mentioned it on inauguration day (UK) showed the protestors burning a flag and did a small interview with someone.

    Wtf. Its amazing how many people on Lemmy didn’t see this. If you missed it, you need to pay attention to the news.

    I’ve not seen much about it in American “liberal media”, but, to be fair, I’ve not consumed a lot of media in the past month or so.
