The popular social media account “Occupy Democrats” has urged its followers to wear black on Monday for a “National Day of Mourning” during the Trump inauguration.
While many groups have tried to organize protests for the inauguration, this weekend’s demonstrations have fallen far short of what they were after his first election.
While thousands joined the “People’s March” on Saturday, a rebrand of the “Women’s March,” it was nothing like the estimated 500,000 that joined for the 2017 inauguration.
Still, Occupy Democrats is doing its best to grift off of rallying their followers to whine about the election results.
“Don’t forget to wear all black on January 20th. National Day of Mourning,” a post on the page read.
The post had over 20,000 “likes” on Instagram within a day.
The same post gained far less traction on X, a more political platform.
Friendly reminder! Hit the and RETWEET if you will be wearing all black, too!
