I didn't watch a single minute and I didn't give a single shit about the coverage of it.

Democrats should've followed AOC and not even attended.

Yeah my sister was shocked that the I didn't even watch the highlight reels. Cause I just don't want to see that fuck. I'm going to be hearing about him and his batshit schemes for the next 4 years and I just don't want to fucking deal with it right now.

I didn't watch it but I still heard all about it.

I actually unplugged the TVs in the gym

Anyone else notice how political participation has been reduced to a consumption activity and pulling a lever to the left or the right? It's almost like there's a great big spectacle, and we're all just hypnotized by the spectacle, and it's alienated us from our surroundings and reality into mere spectators and automatons neutered from having an effect on our material conditions. Somebody should write a book about that, named something like, "Society of the Spectacle".

The Democrats handed him power on a golden platter.

Anyone else not only not watch, but actively avoided any possibility of even catching a glimpse of it?

I saw that shit on Disney plus.
Immediately cancelled my sub.
Kids can have Bluey from the warships on the ocean 🦜☠️.

I'd like to support content creators. They work hard, deliver their dream. And early on, a large delivery network is desirable! But if that provider enshitifies beyond my threshold, they are dead to me.

So set sail!

The fact that it’s streaming on Disney+, while not surprising, is disgusting.

I skimmed it on YouTube, enough to see grandpavict nodding off at his own event, if he can't be bothered to tune in, why the fuck would i?

Is that a malnourished child's hand?

What's smaller? His audience or what's in his pants?

So the numbers are actually quite a bit lower. All news agencies fluff their numbers, until tax time.

I doubt even that many watched.

I watched it but mostly to witness the oath and was sickened the whole time. How much of the audience was like me I wonder.

We watched just to see if we needed to throw the bug-out bag in the car and go.

I didn’t know it was on Disney+. That’s interesting. It really shows how the TV landscape is shifting away from broadcast.

Fuck Trump, but I think it sorta makes sense for the new “networks” to carry live events like this as we move to all-digital.

Back in the day, when over the air was the main option, it was good that things like this were put in front of people. I still think things like this should be put in front of people.

And I’ll reiterate: fuck Trump.

Don't worry, trump will lie about this too

Willingly having to look at that Orange piece of shit. No thank you.

Maybe Musk paid a farm to increase the views.

Probably watched online instead

More proof that biden fucked up by running. People don't want this but given the options they'll fuck shit up, I guess.

I watched some bits. Saw a few random senators spouting LLM-generated soundbites that basically meant fuck all but a thinly-veiled attempt to get their plastic faces on the news

Over and over and over and over again. Maximum five words per sentence

Switched it off before the orange chimpanzee even opened that weird sphincter on his face
