Protests have already begun against the new US leader. According to media reports, thousands of people took to the rallies. Channel 24 has collected the details.
Participants of the rallies paid special attention to the figure of Elon Musk. The billionaire has already managed not only to make scandalous statements, but also gestures. In the literal sense of the word. Trump was even forced to say that Musk cannot do anything without the administration's approval.
What is known about the protests #50501 against Trump
The protests took place in Philadelphia, Minnesota, Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin, Alabama and Indiana. People spoke out against Trump's policies, in particular, his decisions regarding immigrants and the LGBT community. As well as statements regarding the Gaza Strip.
Here are just a few slogans: “No to Nazi garbage!”, “Immigrants will make America great”, “Immigrants built America”, “My body – my choice”, “Trump is not a strong man, he is a fraud”, “USAID saves lives”.
One of the immigrant families took a child to the protest. On the baby's back was a poster “My parents are not criminals”.
“Hate will not make America great”, “I am proud to be the daughter of immigrants”, “We did not vote for Musk”, “No to traitors”, “Save democracy”, the posters testified.
The protesters reminded that with great power comes great responsibility. Some even called for the arrest of Elon Musk or sending him to Mars, and for Trump to be impeached. Americans are against the “billionaire takeover”. They also condemned the so-called Project 2025.
People coordinated their actions online using the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501. The numbers “50501” mean a call to hold 50 protests in all 50 states in one day.
Thus, protesters in the US actively played on Trump's slogan “Make America Great Again”. And showed an AI-generated drawing of Trump and Musk kissing. This continues a political tradition, because the graffiti “Brotherly Kiss” on the Berlin Wall was once very popular. There they depicted Brezhnev and the leader of the German Democratic Republic, Erich Honecker, with the caption “God, help me survive in the midst of this deadly love.”
