Nationwide STOUS Blackout on January 30th.......What are your plans?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

Let us all partake in a protest of the State Of The Union Speech by NOT turning on our TVs for the hour or so the Donald will be spouting off bragging about how great he is.
If we all tell friends and family, then they do the same, Trump's ratings will plummet. A nation wide blackout would be divine.

I plan to be downstairs sewing. I will have my tablet handy to read reactions.

1. How will anyone know whether or not I watch it? This is a serious question because I

don't understand how they can know. Educate me, please.

[Dirty Socialist]

2. Will be cutting my toenails during the STate of The Union Address

Will watch the Democratic response.

[Siwsan]

3. I'm pretty sure there will be some 'Law And Order" reruns airing on SOME channel

And it's the day before the 'Blue Moon', so that's going to occupy some of my time, too.

[longship]

14. Yup! Especially if Lennie Briscoe is there.

One of the best wise-cracking cops ever.


We lost a good one there. Jerry Orbach!

[Tanuki]

4. Put your tv on some channel that is not broadcasting SOTU

even if you are not watching anything. That was recommended during the Inauguration so that it would drive down 45's ratings ratio, one of the few things he cares about.

[0rganism]

5. his base will watch raptly

that's all he cares about, and it will determine the path of his rhetoric
afterwards, regardless of ratings, Trump will lie that it was "the most watched SOTU ever, believe me."
and guess what? his base will believe him, because that's what they do.

6. I already know all that I need to know about the SOTU

We live in a shithole country. End of story. There, I just saved everyone an hour or so of their time.

[burnbaby]

7. I plan to watch

it. That way I can correct anyone who says how great his speech was

[smirkymonkey]

8. I am boycotting. Can't stand the sight of him or the sound of his voice.

I will not participate in the false effort to make this idiot look presidential. He is a fucking joke and should be exposed as such.

[eleny]

9. I won't have the tv on, either

And sewing sounds like a great idea. I'll join you in that from afar!

[handmade34]

10. I will be driving to Syracuse

and settling into my hotel... NO WAY will I watch the SOTU!

[shraby]

11. I really don't feel like listening to an hour of his self adulation.

[Gothmog]

12. I will be ignoring trump

[samnsara]

13. TV will be on but NOT to that...
