y attending Trump’s inauguration, they’re normalizing it – as if Trump were just another president and this were just another inauguration. He’s not. It’s not.
I think all of us have a public responsibility to sound the alarm about what is about to occur. This includes former presidents and former presidential candidates.
At the very least, on January 20, at 12 noon eastern time, all of us should refuse to witness Donald Trump's oath of office -- turn off all TV sets, avoid any streaming video -- and instead observe a minute of silence out of concern for the future of American democracy.
What do you think?
