A BLACK OUT for the Inaguration? [View all]

There's an idea floating around the internet - I like it and I am doing my part to spread the news. Let's do what we can - here's the gist:


No posts, meme's, tweets, comments, outrage on the day of the inauguration. A long shot -- if we could get the mainstream media to black out the whole event that would be even better. (That's what they should've done with him in the first place)
Trump lives for and thrives lives on attention. On inauguration day, DON'T GIVE IT TO HIM.

Let's make that day UNMEMORABLE
