It must be an exhausting period for U.S. democrats and coddled-up liberal for living the life of the perpetually offended. They let criminals out of jail while letting illegals in, they let men into the girls bathrooms to prey on them, they condemn law enforcement and celebrate the depravity from Hollywood, they persecute Christians, they desecrate the American flag, they accept mass murder and terrorism in the name of Islam, they overtax hard working people while calling them racists, and they reward and coddle the lazy and undeserving with social programs all to increase their voter rolls.
If the above are not enough, about a dozen Democratic lawmakers have announced their intention to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration as a protest of the president-elect’s plans for the country. As if they are worthy to be mentioned because their small fraction of the 535 House and Senate members, they wrongly thought that anybody give a damn that they are planning to break with tradition just because they don't agree with Trump's agenda.
Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., told Yahoo News she decided she couldn't celebrate Trump’s inauguration because of his comments during the campaign about temporarily barring Muslims from entering the country and his vow to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
"I thought about it over and over again — it’s not a decision I came to lightly," she said. "I thought about it very carefully because I do believe in democracy and this peaceful transfer of power."
Lee was among a pathetic growing handful of Democratic lawmakers who can't accept the fact that their candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost. She even objected to the certification of the Electoral College results on the House floor because of her unfounded belief that Russians interfered in the election.
"There are going to be moments where some of us are going to have to say, 'Enough is enough,'" Lee told Yahoo News. "It’s going to happen more — this is a very unusual and extraordinary time."
Lee said there isn't an organized effort to get Democrats to skip the Inauguration — which is generally a bipartisan celebration of democracy and the transfer of power — but each lawmaker is making up his or her own mind. Former Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter have all said they will attend the ceremony. Hillary Clinton, Trump's vanquished rival, is also set to be there.
Lawmakers often skip the inauguration due to personal conflicts or a desire not to be there, according to Raymond Smock, director of the Byrd Center and a former historian of the House of Representatives. "It’s not a big deal if they’re missing it," Smock said. For the American voters, they are still waiting for the promise of many democratic celebrities and politicians that they will move to other countries if Trump wins.
Mexico will welcome them with open arms and give them stuff toys to cuddle.
