(DailyVantage.com) – A group of women gathered at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, on November 9 to participate in a “primal scream” event, expressing their frustration and grief following President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The gathering, attended by about two dozen women, involved participants venting their emotions by screaming toward Lake Michigan.
Organizer Tamara Gibbs described the event as a form of emotional release and a stepping stone for renewed political action. “This wasn’t just about screaming—it was about regrouping, finding solidarity, and planning for the future,” Gibbs said.
The event echoed previous anti-Trump protests, including the “screaming at the sky” demonstrations that followed Trump’s 2016 election. Video footage of the Wisconsin gathering has since gone viral, drawing comparisons to those earlier protests, including those organized by groups like Refuse Fascism.
After the screaming session, participants turned their focus to future political efforts. The group discussed strategies to influence upcoming state legislature elections, emphasizing grassroots organization and community engagement. Gibbs underscored the importance of maintaining momentum, framing the event as the first step in a longer-term effort to reclaim political influence.
The primal scream is part of a broader tradition of symbolic protests, where participants channel collective emotions to foster unity and resistance. Organizers believe such events serve as a rallying point, providing a sense of community amid political disappointment.
While critics have mocked similar protests as performative, supporters argue they provide a cathartic outlet and inspire action. For the women at Klode Park, the screams were more than an emotional release—they were a call to action, signaling their commitment to reshaping the political landscape in the years ahead.
