Absolutely. No f[inks]ing way I'd be able to watch that, either on video or in person.

I'd watch the ascent of the first administration I could truly feel hopeful for.

Yes, of course. Institutional respect is a two-way street, and T***p has never fulfilled his end of the bargain.

Yes.  I'm not even watching it tomorrow.  I'll likely be stoned all day.

Yes. I would not do it for just any Republican President. I would want to make it clear to my constituents that I wasn't about to roll over and play dead for Trump.

One of the remarks about Belarus is that Lukashenka benefits from having a population addicted to alcohol.

Yes but more because of Hillary's 3 million vote margin than Trump's personal repugnance

Sure. He won, that's that. No sense in creating dangerous precedents for when a candidate I like wins.

No, of course not. It's a matter of civic etiquette. I also say "under God" when saying the pledge, even thought I'm Godless.

Probably yeah, but I don't really have a problem with people not boycotting.

At first this cracked me up because if you're hopeful that Trump's administration will do anything conservative, then you're comically gullible.

But then I realized maybe you're hopeful that Trump's administration will merely continue to antagonize your political rivals without doing anything particularly conservative or right-wing. Is that all you're hoping for?

I'll start by saying that I won't watch it in person - not because I'm *boycotting* it (God, as if Facebook could get any worse...), but rather because I would have a lot more fun doing other things - but if I were in Congress, I would obviously attend, literally no matter who is elected.  The battle starts once they're in office, and there's no worse way to combat someone who you feel will disrespect our democratic institutions ... than by disrespecting our democratic institutions.

No. I'd be a fierce critic, and attend nonetheless.

No. It's stupid and petty. That being said, I probably wouldn't applaud or cheer, or anything.

I don't think the Democrats who attended insinuated they would "roll over and play dead for Trump," but whatever.

No.  No way.

Little brats boycott and have tantrums.  Grown-ups show up and try to salvage what they can.
