The American flag existed long before Donald Trump, and itโll still be here long after him.
If your patriotism rises and falls based on whoโs in the White House, maybe your allegiance is to politicsโnot the country.
The flag represents the nation and its people, not whichever administration happens to be in power.โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
God bless America. ๐บ๐ธ
I truly hope everyone who's been waving the ๐ฒ๐ฝ over the American flag ๐บ๐ธ on American soil is already packing their bags to head south and defend the country they claim to love so fiercely.
The cartel isn't going to fight itself.
โจThis is your moment, superstar. Go shine.โจ
๐จTHIS GOES FOR EVERY PERSON THAT WILL NOT ATTEND THE
๐บ๐ธSTATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS๐บ๐ธ
Refusing to attend the State of the Union is not โresistance.โ
It is institutional contempt.
The State of the Union is not a campaign rally.
It is not a fundraiser.
It is not a party convention.
It is a constitutional obligation under Article II, Section 3.
The President reports to Congress.
Congress represents the people.
All of the people.
When elected officials boycott that address, they are not snubbing a man.
They are signaling disdain for the office.
They are signaling disregard for procedure.
They are signaling indifference toward the citizens who voted differently than they did.
More than half the country voted one way.
The other half voted another.
The State of the Union is one of the few remaining civic rituals where all branches assemble under one roof. It symbolizes continuity of government. It symbolizes peaceful transfer of power. It symbolizes unity under law even when policy divides us.
Skipping it is not bravery.
It is performative tribalism.
If you were elected to represent your district, your job is to show up.
Show up.
Listen.
Disagree afterward if you must.
Debate on substance.
But absence communicates something else entirely.
It communicates: โI do not recognize the legitimacy of this administration.โ
That is a dangerous precedent in a constitutional republic.
If Republicans had done this under a Democrat President, the media would frame it as anti-democratic sabotage.
Consistency matters.
Disagreement is healthy.
Boycott as branding is not leadership.
Public office requires maturity.
Not social media theater.
If you want to amplify it even further, add this closing line:
If you canโt sit in a chamber for one hour and listen to a President you oppose, you are not ready to govern a divided nation.

Liberals ruin absolutely everything. Sports, culture, celebrations, now even the Olympic gold.
Imagine being so miserable you canโt handle winning without turning it into a grievance session about Donald Trump?
To all those who follow me because of @xx_xyathletics and who are now telling me to stop talking about covid...
Let me just explain a few things -- and why that isn't going to happen.
The only reason I'm even active on @X is because of covid. The only reason I have any following at all is because of covid.
Why? Because I objected to school closures and lockdowns from day 1. I lost my career, my city, pretty much all of my friends. Because I said closed schools, closed playgrounds, and masking were harming our kids.
We all suffered the most egregious violations of our civil liberties imaginable during lockdowns. I will never understand why people don't care and want to just pretend it never happened.
We couldn't leave our homes. Literally. We were told we couldn't see family, celebrate the holidays. We couldn't move about freely. We were censored. We couldn't gather or protest (unless it was for BLM, then it was ok). People couldn't go to church or AA meetings. For years!
Two year olds were forced to wear masks for hours a day. They suffered speech and developmental delays. That continue to this day.
Public school students in blue states were kept out of full time school for a year and a half. While their private school peers attended school and played sports. The most vulnerable children were harmed the most.
People couldn't work. 27M people lost their jobs in 2020. 27M!!
People couldn't visit loved ones in the hospital. People died alone. Women gave birth alone.
People were arrested for surfing. In the ocean - alone.
The world shut down. Supply chains stopped. That initiated the inflation we still are struggling to beat back.
I've been a covid dissident since March 2020. Children were harmed. They are still suffering from learning loss and the emotional impact of isolation and halted development. For some, the course of their lives was altered forever. They dropped out of school. Or fell behind and never caught up. Disengaged and never re-engaged. Drugs. Eating disorders. Suicidal ideation. Attempted suicide. Oh and the by way, the trans madness accelerated during lockdowns. Why? Isolation, terminal on-line-ness, depression, anxiety, all of it. Caused by lockdowns.
This is not something I will forgive. Or forget. You can't treat kids like prisoners and expect them to be ok (that is quote from a parent in Generation Covid - a parent who lost his child to suicide in 2021.)
I started making this documentary in 2022, and followed children and families who were harmed for 2 full years. It's called Generation-Covid.
Don't look away.
