Extreme cold temperatures and an atmosphere of defeat dampened the protests in Washington, D.C., surrounding Monday's inauguration of President Donald Trump.
In one instance Monday, a group of protesters erected a small guillotine, with a demonstrator seen holding an LGBTQ flag and others holding Palestinian flags, but for the most part, the cold weather that forced the inauguration inside the Capitol kept many protesters off the streets this time around, reported The National Pulse.
Even on Saturday, when thousands arrived in Washington for the People's March, organizers said that only about a tenth of the crowd showed up than was there in 2017, the first time Trump was sworn into office.
That year, the Women's March drew record crowds to the streets.
The same planners urged protesters to come out to demonstrate on more causes, including abortion rights, LGBTQIA+ issues, women's equality, racial justice, and climate change, but the numbers weren't there this year, reported NPR.
Those who arrived voiced their frustrations for making a difference this time around though, given that Republicans also hold both chambers of Congress and conservatives hold a majority on the Supreme Court.
"I am tired. I am exhausted. I am angry," one protester told Time, while another said that eight years ago she still "had hope."
"This weekend is far from the march I attended eight years ago," she said. "I had hope and fight."
