Everyone gets seated, and the moment Drumpf starts speaking, every Dem gets up, en masse, and walks out as a whole. That has better optics. Silence is complicity.
Something needs to be done.
True. Take up seats at the beginning so Republicans can’t fill the whole room, then have one person get up every time he tells a lie. I’d bet you will all be out of the room within 10 minutes!
I’m all for a walk out and showing solidarity for Americans who are loyal to the Constitution, but the single most important thing they can—and must—do is to call the situation what it is:
I see this a lot. Just calling it a coup is like orange man bad. It got us wrecked. Democrats need to get ppl that are tired of this on their side and for that they need to be in the public dispelling all the bs Trump’s trolls are spouting about them.
It’s important that his lies are witnessed and exposed. All the Democrats should stand up and scream LIAR every time he does (which we all know will be often).
Yes, unified colors, take the 🇺🇸 back.
Show/wear Ukrainian colors in support.
Turn your back in resistance.
Heckle when you know the truth.
Chastise when they deserve it.
Mock their broken and corrupt policies.
Resist and protect the constitution alongside human decency.
When I attended one of his rallies before the first term, people would blow whistles at different intervals and he got distracted so badly he stopped early. I bet the slow walkout would do the trick!
Yeah, though Im not that big of a fan of leaving because these fascists might just replace em with sycophants. Something to consider, as it oculd provide the wrong imagine depending when people are watcing, etc.
When each one stands up they should have a little card that says "lie," or a little flag they can pull out of their breast pockets, wave it in the air then walk out, but individually so it happens throughout the address.
No, have EVERYONE walk out on him at the FIRST lie. And tell him and the media in advance that it will happen. Watch either his head explode trying not to lie, or see how quickly he intentionally lies to get Democrats out of the room.
Or Democrats in unison could yell "You Lie!" each time he does.
Take up all the front row seats and make comments amongst yourselves when he tells a lie like What? That’s not true. Enough so it’s a chorus of rejection of lies. But not yelling.
Like I said, I think, since people want Dems to act like those Maori politicians in New Zealand, or that one Taiwanese legislator who ran with a bad bill in hand, may as well go all MTG and Boebert, but resistance. Not like the GOP did anything about those two as they disrespected Biden.
Stand/sit with your backs to tRump wearing yellow and blue. Leaving just gives him and MAGA a reason Dems are afraid. Standing strong together in silence in the camber.
I disagree with walking out. That’s equivalent to abandoning ship. I say - cause chaos and uproar and upheaval. Also … work on getting Elon massively stoned beforehand and then tell him he’s the one giving the speech
Does it have to be legal? Airhorns. Make it so darn loud in there that no one can hear a word he’s saying. Spitballs. Tomatoes and eggs. Skunks. Sit in - invite people from all over the country for a peaceful sit in protest. However, targeted drone strike would be much more satisfying.
Don't leave the chamber.
Boo, whistle, stomp your feet, but don't leave the chamber.
Don't give him a second of respite so he can stumble while reading the teleprompter and lose it when at least 5 or 10 of you yell liar liar pants on fire every time he tells a lie.
Get under his skin.
These two, whatever they are, behaved like drunk women in a bar.
I understand your point.
He is devious enough to turn it against the dems if they leave.
That is the issue.
He doesn't know the difference between respect and disrespect.
Getting under his skin works.
I agree, but more of a viral moment if they wait until he gets rolling, and walk out en masse. Follow with press conference outside with laid off federal workforce. That would make a statement that might break through the bubble, at least for some.

There was nothing like this kind of statistical evidence in 2020.

He needs to see opposition in his FACE!
Besides the State of Union will be a campaign speech about how he is going to defeat Biden in the general election. We have all already seen it.

I think walking out shows far more disrespect...but I like your idea.
