Letter to Congresswomen Pingree
Before Trump 1st inauguration sixty-three Democrats refused to attend... "He's NOT my President!" Everyone said he would destroy the country, the stock market and start wars. He didn't... Then they said he wouldn't leave office and even though Trump didn't believe President Elect Biden received 81,283,591 votes he infact left office and the Democrats impeached him again anyways.
Congresswomen Pingree please don't blow off the State of The Union. You represent me and my state and if you don't go I'm not represented. I know Trump is a dictator. He's a wannabe King. Of course he's a pedophile, Nazi and a racist... But still, actions have consequences and by not going to the State of The Union you are feeding the fire that our democracy is at risk. You know, democracy, where the person getting the most votes gets elected?
Fast forward a few days: My request fell upon deaf ears. The largest previous boycott record was just fourteen in 2018. This was crushed in 2026. The Democrats call for unity seems crazy when 31 Senate Democrats and 103 House Democrats "miss" the State of the Union. Yes some Democrats were sick or had other pressing obligations but it's clear no matter how you count this was the largest boycott of any gathering of Congress in our nations history.
Everyone says Trump continues to destroy the norms of his office when in fact it could be argued that the Democrats are the ones blowing up norms. It's Democrats fanning the flames of the people who are mentally unstable. Two serious assassination attempts with one a half inch away from blowing Trump's head off are indicators that the Democrats don't really believe in democracy.
It's hard not to believe Justice Kavanaugh being targeted for assassination or Charlie Kirk being assassinated are not the byproduct of the Democrats ever increasing, unhinged rhetoric of hostility and anything remotely associated with Trump.
