Suppose They Gave an Inauguration and Nobody Came?

Roger Simon writes:

Don’t show up!
When I say don’t show up, I mean really don’t show up.
Don’t protest the inauguration in any way, not in Washington, not at your state house, nowhere. Ignore the whole thing.
Don’t even watch the event on television or stream it on any of your devices.

I suspect significantly fewer are going to tune in, if not in America then at least in the rest of the world, not in protest or partisan pique but because the magic’s gone from Washington DC.

An audience that was formerly awed at a distance got close enough to see the caked make-up and the painted props. Olympus has fallen.

It may be all for the best. A free people are ruled by men not gods.
