To boycott the swearing in saying to attend would ‘normalize Trump’s promotion of bigoted, misogynist, anti-Semitic and racist claims.”

Democracy, now and forever. Let this be our new battle cry.
Bravo, Katherine !

I wish other Dems would follow her lead and join the marches those days instead of attending the inauguration. That goes for Hillary Clinton, ESPECIALLY Hillary Clinton, as well. I fear he’s already too normalized and “the Resistance” will mainly be a failed one of just fact-checking Trump.
Will Rogers said : ‘ I’m not a member of an organized party; I’m a Democrat.’
As Democrats, we are all free thinkers who value our independence and diversity.
Unless and until we can reach strategic consensus I think we should adopt the Augustinian approach as proposed by JConway : ” In essentials unity, in non essentials liberty, in all things charity.”
So, though I support Katherine’s boycott of Putin’s Puppet swearing in, I view it as expression of non essential liberty; NOT a threat to our essential unity.
