"Thousands are gathering to mark the occasion, in Boston, New York and possibly Seattle, by bellowing helplessly at the rapidly warming sky. "Continuing the communal primal scream begun by Yoko Ono in the days following the 2016 election, Americans are gathering for several "Scream helplessly at the sky on the anniversary of the election" events on Nov. 8."When all else fails; when all helpless braying and whining has let you down, get out there in public places and "SCREAM!", "SCREAM!", "SCREAM!" It worked for you when Momma refused to buy you that red fire truck at Walmart, so why wouldn't it work now? "The screamers will join the women's marchers, the inflatable chickens and the kneeling war veterans that have comprised some of the varied protests of the last 12 months." (Mashable)
"Join us cucks and snowflakes, safe spacers and libtards, as we enjoy a collective cathartic yell into the heavens about our current political establishment," the New York event page reads. 2,000 people have said they're attending the Washington Square Park scream. (Mashable) "In Boston, meanwhile, 4,500 were signed up at time of writing. Another page, for Seattle, was created but removed mysteriously Monday. "Of course, the event pages have mixed reviews. "That's friggin fabulous!" one commentator (sic) said. "F**king stupid beyond words. God bless President Trump," another wrote. "One of the Boston event's organizers Johanna Schulman told Newsweek, "This administration has attacked everything about what it means to be American ... Coming together reminds us that we are not alone, that we are part of an enormous community of activists who are motivated and angry, whose actions can make a difference."

"Although it is important to acknowledge the tragedy that befell our country on November 9th, we cannot let it defeat us," she added. (Mashable)But wait for this Oct. 24 update:
"The Boston event has now been canceled due to "logistical and liability challenges," Johanna Schulman, a local activist in Cambridge who is working on organizing the event, said. (Mashable)LOL!!!
"Organizers are working to determine if an alternative event could be designed in a way to mitigate those challenges. Clearly there is a desire on the part of many Americans to express their opposition to the Trump administration on the anniversary of the election." (Mashable)While over 4,000 Facebook users have RSVP'd--some 33,000 interested in attending in Boston have changed their minds. Nor is anyone saying what happened to the "mysterious" Seattle screamers.
"Nationwide, groups also are finding new ways to engage with their representatives, including baking cupcakes for Republican lawmakerswhen they derail Trump's conservative agenda."Watch those cupcakes, congress critters, because you never know what might be in them.
"The upcoming Boston scream party is a departure from taking action against the administration and its agenda. Instead, Americans will be provided the unique opportunity to vent their rage by shouting at the darkening skies above, all the while expecting nothing in return. (Newsweek)The screamers are getting exactly what Americans got after eight years of Obama in office: "Nothing in return". Meanwhile, just like the sleazy political party they defend, the Scream-at-the-Sky activists are going all the way down to the bottom of the barrel in pubic esteem. If both the Dem party and their running-dog activists could be identified by sound, it would be from donkey braying to pitiful squeaks, to a last ditch desperate attempt calling for screaming at the sky.
