  • Democratic lawmakers who boycotted Trump's first inauguration say they feel compelled to go this time, while protests are expected to be a fraction of their 2017 size.

The article from MSN discusses the anticipated differences in the atmosphere and events surrounding Donald Trump's second inauguration compared to his first. While his first inauguration in 2017 was marked by significant protests, including the Women's March, and several Democratic lawmakers boycotting the event, the second inauguration is expected to see smaller protests and fewer boycotts. This shift is attributed to several factors: the political climate has evolved, with some Democrats choosing to attend to represent their constituents or to maintain political decorum. Additionally, the presence of security measures and the memory of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot might deter large-scale demonstrations. The article also notes that while there will still be some level of protest, the overall mood is less charged, reflecting a broader acceptance or at least a resigned acknowledgment of Trump's presidency among his detractors.
