Symbolic Protest and the State of the Union Address

[Chasstev365]

Assuming the Trump Shitshow is still in full gear by late January 2018 (no resaon to believe it won't be), Why don't all Democratic members of the House and Senate walk out in protest?

YEAH, I know; it would never happen, but hey I can dream that their might be a limit to the Trump perversion of our once great deMOCKracy!

1. That would require our leaders to have a backbone

2. Or simply not show up

They should all boycott the thing. No Democrats in attendance, let those watching know, for certain who is doing this to them. Plus, a half-filled room will drive OrangeIdiot nuts.

Of course, they will all sit there, politely, smiling and applauding as he speaks of his plans for destruction of our country, but hey, why should they worry? They are all wealthy and benefit from the policies being put forward.

And yes, I'll still vote for them...but I can be discouraged by their enabling of this whole shitshow.

3. They will be too busy

Taking the "moral high ground".
