Anti-Trump protesters 'scream helplessly at the sky' to demonstrate on election anniversary
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}From helpless cries to primal screams, liberals protested the one-year anniversary of President Trump’s election by huddling together in public spaces and howling from sea to shining sea.
A year after Trump's historic underdog win over Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, hundreds of anti-Trump protesters gathered in locales such as New York City's Washington Square Park for an event urging attendees to "scream helplessly at the sky."
Many attendees, at the end of a countdown, let out varied shouts, shrieks, screeches and yowls while standing in place, putting their heads back and crying out towards the sky.

“Who’s going to end this fascist nightmare? We’re going to end this fascism nightmare,” members cheered.

Though some of the demonstrators risked losing their voice, they said they haven’t lost their way.
"We are screaming in rage, we are screaming in pain, but we are screaming in unity and solidarity 'cause we have a plan and a way forward," Eva Sahana, a Refuse Fascism organizer, told Patch.com.

And there were other forums, too.
About 30 anti-Trump activists in Eugene, Ore. took part in what they called “primal scream therapy” Tuesday, as reported by KLCC.
