During the campaign, trump events were raucous, well attended celebratory events filled with unafraid people. Biden events, in contrast, were highly controlled, sparsely attended events that might just as well have been done virtually from Bidens basement. So what will the inauguration be like? The article below says that some of the Biden people are afraid that if a normal sort of inauguration is held, there will be far more Trump supporters there than Biden, with the result that it’ll turn into a protest rather than a celebration. I have doubts, though… right wingers in the US will often turn out for a celebration, but much less often for a protest. In any event, there’s nothing saying that a Presidential inauguration needs to be a big public affair, just that a Supreme Court Justice needs to do it. Biden right now might well be planning on being sworn in by Ruth Bader Ginsburg in his garage.
