A BLACK OUT for the Inaguration?

[WomanWhoRoars]

There's an idea floating around the internet - I like it and I am doing my part to spread the news. Let's do what we can - here's the gist:


No posts, meme's, tweets, comments, outrage on the day of the inauguration. A long shot -- if we could get the mainstream media to black out the whole event that would be even better. (That's what they should've done with him in the first place)
Trump lives for and thrives lives on attention. On inauguration day, DON'T GIVE IT TO HIM.

Let's make that day UNMEMORABLE

[kimbutgar]

1. I could stay off the Internet for a day

I did it for the first 40 years of my life!

[Farmgirl1961]

2. Great idea but the MSM is so in the pocket of Trump

that every little fart and sneeze is covered. I don't see how or why the mainstream media would do this...wishful thinking though.

I'm not planning on watching and have, to the best of my ability, stopped looking at any mainstream "news".

[pangaia]

3. With all due respect.... you're kidding................ right?

the MSM is going to.......... ignore the coronation?

[otohara]

45. No We Are....

I have no interest in watching this oaf take the oath, do you?

Of course the media has to do their job, but we don't have to watch.

[WomanWhoRoars]

4. hell I know that

I know they won't ignore it but I was sharing what I saw posted on FB - I will do my part - I won't watch the ....sigh..EVENT nor will I post about it. I'll write a check to the ACLU that day.

[kebob]

5. I'll be Blacked Out

Tequila and beer for that whole weekend!

[pangaia]

13. I hope you're not abusing a fine Patron like that..

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. What would be really cool

is if there were no spectators at the inauguration day parade. Nobody at all. Just empty sidewalks; nobody at all to watch the military parade and the flags and ceremony and the Trump family sashaying down the street.

That won't happen but I sure like the idea - much more than protestors. The best protest would be nobody shows up.

[blue cat]

7. I'm in!

[WomanWhoRoars]

8. Spread the word

Spread the word

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. I'll do it.

I am never gonna watch him anyway.

I think it would be fantastic if nobody shows up to his swearing in, supporters or protesters, either one. And I would love it if the teevee ratings for that day showed up at just above zero.

It would be a perfect tribute.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

37. speaking of zero perhaps the weather

will cooperate and it will be below zero with blizzard conditions.

[Cracklin Charlie]

42. Don't you make me want to watch, Tom Joad!

That kinda thing would make good teevee.

[Croney]

10. But 200,000 of us are going to be there that weekend for the Women's March.

That's going to be a big story on its own...I hope. Maybe we can divert attention from the coronation of the insane buffoon, even though the march is the next day.

[pangaia]

14. media wont cover it

[Cracklin Charlie]

43. Have your march somewhere else in town.

Like DuPont Circle.

I think you might get more attention that a way.

Just a thought.

[global1]

24. It's More Likely That The Media Will Blackout This....

Woman's March.

[barbtries]

26. we'll be there for the Womens March too

I hope to be showing other parts of DC to my granddaughter on the 20th, then we will make news on the 21st.

i expect the inauguration protest will be huge. IIRC gw's was, one of the biggest ever, and hardly anyone even knows it because the media did not report. sigh

[Txbluedog]

39. I hope the march is concluded by 12:00 pm EST

Otherwise President Trump might just give shoot on sight orders

[jack_krass]

11. The media are attracted to trump and his enterage like flies are to shit. No way theyre stayin away

[jalan48]

12. The mainstream media put Trump in power.

They aren't about to miss the cast party.

[napi21]

15. I don't think the MSM can black out the coverage of any Presidents inauguration. Their JOB

is to inform the public of all news worthy information, and just because we don't like the candidate. What we can do is tune it out ourselves. Watch something else on TV. If you can't find anything interesting, turn the TV off and go to the net. There are thousands of movies FREE to watch. If you can't find any movies that interest you, DU will be here! At least the # of viewers will be down, and that would send a message to the networks AND the Con, except HE won't understand it or pay any attention.

[WomanWhoRoars]

16. We're in this together

Let's do what WE can - ignore his event - no comments on FB etc about it. Write a check to the ACLU or to Planned Parenthood -- write a letter to your congressperson about a concern. SOMETHING.

[greytdemocrat]

17. Oh for Christ sake...

Let me guess, they are taking "donations"???

[DemonGoddess]

18. I plan on binge watching

something on Netflix or Hulu that day. Like an anime series, or two.

[MontanaMama]

19. I'll do it!!

I'll ignore the whole freaking mess.

And I will pray for a really big wind on January 21st...because, who said it???? The only two things that orange hitler fears are strong women and a strong wind.

[McCamy Taylor]

20. Better idea. The 1000000 woman march wears all black.

[The Wielding Truth]

22. Dressing everyone in black on Inauguration Day is the best idea.

[csziggy]

35. And turning their backs to the Presidential limo as it drives down the street

Would give a massive signal that would be hard for the media to avoid.

[The Wielding Truth]

46. Yes, as many did to W.

[Crunchy Frog]

21. I'm going to be watching The Sound of Music.

And having a good cry when the Nazis take over Austria.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

38. Too bad some hacker couldn't interrupt the event

with a showing of Triumph of the Will on all network outlets. I wonder if anyone would notice the difference?

[csziggy]

50. YES! Sort of like this? But not as funny

[flying-skeleton]

23. CBS + NBC + ABC + CNN

ARE INCAPABLE OF GROWING A SPINE TO IGNORE THE MANIPULATOR-IN-CHIEF !!

[Lady_Chat]

25. Is there any way we can get the Media to cover the Women's March?

Calls, emails? A lot of the anchors have Facebook pages, might be a good place to ask, and let them know, we won't be watching them anymore, if the march isn't covered. Any ideas?

[underthematrix]

27. I wont be watching, tweeting, following, posting, commenting anywhere

I will be watching OWN and tweeting about #BlackExcellence

[underthematrix]

28. At 9:01 am PT (12:01 pm ET)

I will also UNFOLLOW and BLOCK whitehouse.gov and @POTUS

[RandySF]

29. Isn't silence exactly what they want from us?

[Txbluedog]

40. Yes

Instead of showing the world watching that not everyone supports Cheeto Jeesus, let's ignore it so it appears that DJT is extremely popular "sarcasm"

[Lady Freedom Returns]

30. Why not?

I have all seasons of Ghost Adventures, tons of books, not to mention I am in SE freaking AZ! All kinds of hiking and bike riding possibilities.

[JI7]

31. there is no way the MSM is going to do that.

[Begabig]

32. Odds on par with a meteor strike...

... also, that meteor would have to be made of marzipan.

This is like a year and change ago... Why doesn't the media just ignore Trump? Then he'll go away...

[MrScorpio]

33. Personally, I wish that I could afford to go back to DC

And report from the ground, like I did for Bush II in 2005

[livetohike]

34. I'm in. Have not watched TV since Nov. 9. He is not my

President. I will not watch the obnoxious, arrogant oaf and his deplorable family on that day or ever.

[WomanWhoRoars]

36. Wear vibrant blue!

I'll be wearing a bright royal blue that day to signify that I am a proud democrat.

[Paladin]

41. Suits me.

The "highlights" of Shithead's acceptance speech will turn up online. And I'm hoping there are some really huge protest rallies in the DC area that day, as well.

[Vinca]

44. I prefer a day of mocking.

This should be a memorable day . . . memorably bad. The day America flushed itself down the commode.

[LisaL]

47. Thanks but no thanks.

That would result in only Trump's supporters posting and twitting and whatever.
What would be the point of that?

[briv1016]

48. Considering that 1/3rd of the country get there news almost exclusily from Fox this will never work.

Add to that the advertising revenue and it's a non-starter.

[Greywing]

49. I had already planned on that ...

I plan on helping make the trump inauguration the least watched inauguration in history. The news I would like to read is that there was a small crowd and the drive to the White House was totally devoid of people lining the route.

[Laffy Kat]

51. I'll be in downtown Denver at the Women's March.

Wouldn't watch it if you PAID me, anyway. Yuckers.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

52. I won't be watching, but to think

that the media wouldn't cover it is not within the bounds of reality.
