1. Every single Dem needs to boycott the inauguration. Every single one of them.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. This, and Republicans as well.

EVERY one of them.

DO NOT ATTEND!

[elmac]

18. They stole the election through illegal and treasonous acts

every action they take needs to be countered. when they celebrate we protest, when they want to compromise we tell them to go to hell. This is was needs to be done to save the party otherwise we will never see another Democratic president.

19. +1000

[Ken Burch]

23. ...including Barack and Michelle...

Trump has forfeited any right to expect national unity on that day.

[Achilleaze]

24. + 1000 - Boycott the Republican-Russian Traitor to America. Illegitimate up the wazoo

[coco22]

2. I want ta thank ya!

[appleannie1943]

3. That brings it to about a dozen. When are the rest going to stand up?

[Farmgirl1961]

4. Yep -- and any honorable Republicans (if there are any left) as well

Now's the time for the past presidents who said they would attend the inauguration to step away.

8. Excellent. People will remember this. THEY will remember who they were.

Honor and conscience and faith in the people should determine the course of their careers. They have only to gain. Rise UP, Democrats!

[mainer]

9. If you're not brave enough to publicly stand with John Lewis,

at least find a way to stay home because of a bad case of inauguration "flu".

[MFM008]

10. If you can't act like a democrat

Bu supporting him......your not.

[HeartachesNhangovers]

11. Jeezus! How "brave" do you have to be

to skip out on an inauguration? You don't have to make up an excuse, you don't have to make an official announcement - just find something else to do. Since it's on a weekday, how about going to your office and doing your frikking job?!

[NBachers]

12. The ever-popular "Spend time with my family" statement would certainly be appropriate.

Much better than spending time with the Failure.

[Rorey]

16. Severe allergic reaction to traitors?

That's the one I'd use.

[edhopper]

13. Carter

and the Clinons should as well.

[chimpymustgo]

15. Our elected representatives should ALL stand with John Lewis and US. We should demand

that they not go.

#Ignoruration

[Rorey]

17. I'd like to see them all demand an apology from trump....

...or they won't attend. He won't because he's an ignorant ass, but that's beside the point.

[Donkees]

27. :) Hashtag is misspelled though, it's ignorguration (ignor-guration)

Thanks!

[chimpymustgo]

28. Thanks! #Ignorguration!!

[Tatiana]

20. Every single Dem (and Independent) should boycott this inauguration.

Trump is illegitimate.

Keep repeating that over and over.

That should be our primary message until the public begins to accept it.

[flamingdem]

21. They are afraid he won't be all that bad

but that he'll have it in for them if they don't attend.

[WestCoastDem42]

25. Call your representatives!

Everyone should call their 3 national representatives - 2 senators and 1 house member - to advise them to boycott this inauguration.

Then make separate calls to express any support for any cabinet nomination that has been made.

Use the guidelines in the Indivisible Guide. Use this link if you don't have one yet!

Resist!

[HassleCat]

26. Come on Democrats. Show some solidarity.

This should be an easy choice. Express your regrets. Say you're having the dog groomed that day. "Can't miss the big lawn mower sale at Home Depot." Of course, it would be better if everybody stayed away and said it's because of the personal attack on Lewis, but that's probably asking too much.

[Jim Beard]

29. The Republicans think what John Lewis is wrong but wait.....

Wasn't it the conservatives who started skipping the Democrat Presidents State of the Union speeches.

Four justices skip State of the Union address

Four Supreme Court justices were absent from Tuesday's State of the Union address.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia were not on the floor of the House for President Barack Obama's primetime address on Tuesday.

Sotomayor was also absent from the court on Monday. Alito, Thomas and Scalia also skipped the 2013 State of the Union address.

In an infamous moment during Obama's 2010 address, Alito was seen whispering the words "not true" during Obama's speech. Alito's reaction came after Obama criticized the court's 2010 Citizens United v. FEC decision during the speech.

After that speech, Alito complained publicly that the justices were expected to sit in the House chamber "like the proverbial potted plant" and that it was now an awkward experience.

Poor babies got their conservative feeling hurt.
