UPDATE: List of tantrum-throwing Dem lawmakers boycotting inauguration balloons to 60
With the inauguration of Donald Trump just days away, Democrats are equal parts panicky, outraged, confused, and sputtering. Like a three-year-old faced with a plate of spinach, they've decided a doomed tantrum is their only recourse. You've seen the hissy-fit play out over the last few weeks, and it's only going to escalate from here on out.
Of course, they don't see their behavior that way. They're trying to portray it as a crisis of conscience. It's not an embarrassing meltdown, it's a noble, Spartacus-like, effort to stand together in the face of injustice and persecution. The plan is to enact a historic boycott of The Donald's big day.
