What do you discuss?
How do you discuss it, right?
And it's also when you think about what we're doing tomorrow by being the main distributor of the biggest boycott of the State of the Union in history.
This is historical in nature, right?
We're sending a statement as well that you can't normalize fascism.
that I understand that even when you disagree with another party in power or a president in power, tradition says you still show up to the State of the Union.
But where someone violates all traditions, norms, and the Constitution like Donald Trump, by giving it that attention, in many ways, you become complicit
in recognizing the destruction of these norms, the destruction of the Constitution.
It's why I think the boycott is so important.
Now, look, I understand, and I'm not going to fault individuals
who show up as a sign of protest.
But I will fault people who behave like it's a normal thing to be a part of that State of the Union.
Like, I understand.
if a lawmaker wants to show up with an Epstein survivor to make that point, right, and stare down Donald Trump with a survivor by their side.
I understand that.
Or a family member of someone who was killed in a concentration camp here in the United States.
I get that.
Or a whistleblower who was retaliated against.
I understand that.
