I just spoke to my brother in law and he said he was not going to watch the Trump inauguration, and I said, "No way am I going to watch that myself!"
It would be like watching someone abuse young kids, laugh as they crippled environmental controls, rolled back the social safety net, etc., etc.
That is a series of pictures I do not want to see, in part because, as a psychologist, I know that many memories last forever. Early memories of abuse can persist through one's life.
But let's encourage Jon Stewart and Mr. Colbert, and other progressives, like Bruce Springsteen, hold a counter extravaganza to raise money for good causes.
I sure as hell would watch that for a long time and if viewership beat the inauguration, that sure as hell would be remarked on!
Any thoughts?

This is the person now president, the person who lied about Obama's birth place, who ripped off students for their tens of thousands of dollars, their hopes, who ripped off his workers, etc.
I would watch the expose' for hours and hours and hours! And so would much of America.
