I'll be boycotting the 4th/45th this year. [View all]

I have had all I can take. I do not want to be around all of my Trump-supporting relatives on this day. I will not cause an argument or make a scene. I cannot in good conscience be social with people who actually cheer what is going on. I will stay in bed (wake me when it is over), lay on the couch or join Code Pink in DC. I haven't decided yet. But I will NOT be celebrating July 4th with this person in the white house. I am truly ashamed of this country.
