Since 1992 has Chicago voted democratically and put its 20 electors votes on the blue option. In the 2016 elections, almost 75 percent of Chicago's population voted on Hillary Clinton.
On January 20, 2017, Donald Trump swore as president of the United States. Hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated around the country. In Chicago, the demonstrations began at Daley Plaza, in the central parts of Chicago. Everything from students, socialists, papers and families of children gathered in the square to show their resistance to Trump. In a few hours there was speech in the square. Several illegal immigrants came across and talked about their vulnerability, but they now stood up for a United States that they all believed. Then the demonstration continued on the streets in the direction of the Trump Tower.
The day after the Trump demonstrations, Chicago woke up to a new massive manifestation. It was time for the traditional women's fair in Chicago. Earlier it was speculated that up to 60,000 people would come to manifest for women's rights and human rights. All people's equal value regardless of sex, ethnicity and / or sexual orientation.
Rumors and hopes of 60,000 protesters turned out to be heavily underestimated. It was estimated that 250,000 people gathered to march along Chicago streets. Satire and criticism of the President's sexist statements adorned many posters as well as criticisms of the abortion of abortion laws.
