I almost never watch any of the inaugurations and I certainly will not be watching this one. Plus, I highly doubt anyone is going to ask me if I’m going to watch it. 😹 If HRC or KH had won I would’ve watched.

But it will be hard not to peek at the dystopian nightmare that will be unfolding. The only thing I’m really interested in is his speech - how crazy and terrifying will it be, who will he threaten, etc.? My SIL is driving to Atlantic City to escape the clown show which will be taking place just a few miles away.

It, the monster, poisons my brain when I see him or hear him. I've done pretty well with avoiding those 2 things since the election.
