A group of women screamed at Lake Michigan in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, and a post indicates they were in “pain” over President Donald Trump’s victory.
Videos of the “primal scream” event were posted to Facebook and then quickly went viral on X. Whitefish Bay is an affluent suburb of Milwaukee County.
On Nov. 9, an Indiana woman named Tamara Gibbs wrote on Facebook, “What a gorgeous morning to gather at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay to engage in a Primal Scream in order to release our pain and frustration after the election. If you zoom in you will see Trump supporters proudly waving their flag on top of the hill. Many thanks to the MPD for keeping us safe.”
The video posted by Gibbs shows the cluster of women screaming at the lake. The woman (and one man) then stood in a circle and vented.
A screenshot on X showed that the event was publicized in a Shorewood, Wisconsin, community page on Facebook, where people vented about the election on the comment thread.
So yeah, a bunch of libs got together for a "primal scream" ritual, releasing their anger by screaming at Lake Michigan all because Donald Trump won.

It’s not clear why the Milwaukee Police Department would consider the primal scream event a necessary expenditure of police resources.
People commented on social media and Gibbs’ Facebook page. “These people are so totally un-self-aware that they have no clue how ridiculous they look to normal people,” wrote one person.
“Gin up all the fake oppression, fake fear and manufactured oppression as you can – then waste tax dollars having MPD have to attend this nonsense, lol,” another person wrote.
“These people are so ludicrous. No one cares that you’re screaming. These guys are gonna have a rough 4 years,” an X user wrote.
“Screaming emits excess carbon dioxide. Is there a carbon tax for that?” wrote another person on X.
