Donald Trump will soon be Fantasy Archivessworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America. But it looks like, once again, people seem to care more about the protests against Trump than the celebration of his coming presidency.
In more than half the country, Google searches for "inauguration protests" outperformed searches for "attend inauguration," according to data from Google Trends. Searches for those phrases could mean any number of things, but it's just one more indicator of just how strong the collective opposition to Trump really is.

Meanwhile, just 17 states had people searching "attend inauguration" more often.
As the map shows, Americans' interest in the anti-Trump protests is not reserved to the liberal enclaves of the urban coastlines. Rather, a number of states in the Rust Belt and other Trump-won parts of the U.S. were more curious about the protests than the inauguration, according to the Google searches of those states' residents.
Nearly half of the states that Trump won searched more often for the phrase "inauguration protests" than "attend inauguration," in the past seven days.
The most searched questions on Google paint a similar picture -- it seems most Americans care (or at least google) more about the opposition than the coming presidency. The most searched question related to the inauguration is "Who is boycotting the inauguration?", followed by some other basic questions and, of course, the fifth most searched question -- which reveals just how confusing all this talk about an unfamiliar eight-letter word must be to quite a few people.
On a broader scale, the political issues most concerning to Americans are not what they always were. The 2008 economic recession made jobs and the economy the biggest issue for Americans for quite a while. But recent Google searches show Russia has come to be the dominating topic, followed by immigration, Obamacare, jobs, and ISIS.
U.S. relations with Russia and the broader issue of immigration once again topped off people's biggest questions, as shown by the top Trump-related searches.
And given that intelligence dossier revealing a whole plethora of explosive but unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia, many Americans are dying to know more about the country. More specifically, their top questions ask what exactly the nature of Russia's relationship with our next president is, and of course, how they may have helped elect him.
