Lifted from the comments, some links of possible interest.
Sargon’s Week In Stupid: Inauguration Special may offer some grim amusement. Do stick with it – there are gripping interviews and filmed outbursts of what one might generously describe as performance art, and the chutzpah of Bernie Sanders, captured at the end, is a thing to behold. (Amid all the moral dissonance and fits of outright lunacy, one of the more telling sights is the staggering amount of garbage left strewn on the streets by the feminist protestors. I can’t help thinking it’s rather symbolic and speaks to the character of those involved.)
Joan steers us to this charmingly progressive lady, who, immediately, emphatically and for no discernible reason, starts haranguing a fellow plane passenger and denouncing his failure to vote as she did - and threatening to vomit on him - before, some commotion later, being escorted from the flight by police officers. Something tells me her husband chose poorly. Or lost a bet.
And here we see a young lady of the left chanting “Love trumps hate.” Seconds before setting a woman’s hair on fire.
Feel free to share findings of your own.
gripping interviews
She's not making the case she thinks she is.

Well, there's the compassionate male feminist at a Canadian Woman's March punching a female reporter:

You'd think punching a woman at a Woman's March would cause a stir. But you'd be wrong. Apparently some women deserve a beating in Liberal Land.

I (almost) feel sorry for the husband.

I wouldn’t go that far, but it’s quite a moment. After gratuitously harassing a fellow passenger and launching into an incongruous, self-indulgent tirade, including threats of vomiting on him, and after disturbing other people, insulting them, and needlessly delaying the flight and everyone on it, the Wife From Hell is finally escorted off the plane by police, but not before giving the other passengers the finger.
Because she’s the righteous one.

You'd think a bunch of wimmin angry at 'the patriarchy' denying them equal rights would march on their nearest mosque, but no.

And if you look closely, you’ll see that the young woman next to her is watching her do it, apparently in approval. “Social justice” really does bring out the best in people.

I wonder how the plane lady would've reacted had someone sat next to her and proceeded to demand to know,"Sister, are you saved?" Or, whether she would've accosted someone who she believed to be a member of a "protected" class?

Sargon’s Week In Stupid: Inauguration Special may offer some grim amusement.
That photo of the TEA Party at ~36:00 doesn't show anyone protesting Obama's inauguration: the TEA Party was protesting the Stimulus bill, which came on the heels of TARP and the GM bailout and other overspending nonsense (half of which was done by Dubya).
Taxed Enough Already, because the partiers knew that what gets spent today is torn tomorrow from the taxpayer's hide. And the first muscle the TEA Party exercised was to primary legislators who'd voted for TARP.
So yeah: racism unleashed, that was.

With regards to that rancorous harpie on the plane, I'm sure everyone's wryly noted her calculating employment of that tried and tested technique of alternating between bully and bullied?
In this instance it was the alleged death of her mother-in-law that she felt increasingly compelled to remind folk of when it became clear that not only was she in trouble but that her fellow passengers were disinclined to righteously lynch that Trump supporter on her behalf.
A classic tactic of course and so beloved by many on the Left when they realise that public opinion has turned/is turning decidedly against them necessitating a timely reclamation of the faux moral initiative - perhaps even some (underserved) sympathy into the bargain too. All usually achieved via emotionally recounting highly specious, uncorroborated tales of unparalleled hardship and sufferance.
Owen down t'pit wi' t'whippets Jones for one ardently swears by such crude yet often effective manipulation and I note Britain's Conscience (tm) - Lily Allen, appears to have peerlessly mastered it of late too. ;)

I started to sympathize with the husband on the plane, but then thought he knows exactly what he's married to and did absolutely nothing to warn others. He certainly could have slipped a note to any number of airport staff along the way, but no - he suffers so all must suffer. Very selfish.

When a sociopath is fixin to manipulate someone, s/he finds that evoking pity is FAR more effective than evoking fear.
Hence, weaponized empathy.

Very selfish.
Watching the Wife From Hell in action, it’s hard to see anything but selfishness. She observes none of the normal boundaries, she entertains herself by being obnoxious, making threats and then lying about it, and her utter disregard for anyone else on the plane is obvious.

Its anecdotal evidence, but the great majority of my friends who attended the women's march on Washington had both the time and the money to do so. Most are housewives married to wealthy, successful men who have never had a job outside the home and who spend a great deal of their time on Facebook. For example, Kara (one of my sorority sisters who took her children) married right out of college and lives in Greenwich, Conn. which is really cush. Katie, one of my law school friends who attended, married a Buckhead dentist and does not practice. I could continue. I am not belittling their lives or contributions to society but, these ladies do not suffer from discrimination of any sort, quite the opposite in fact.
