About This Trend
Dems refers to the members of the Democratic Party, one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States. The term is often used to identify individuals who are part of this party, which has a donkey as its common mascot symbol.
The Dems are currently trending due to their recent actions and responses during and after Donald Trump's speech to Congress, including their protest and refusal to clap, which has sparked controversy and debate among politicians and the public, with some viewing their behavior as disrespectful and others seeing it as a form of resistance.
