No one where I work watched the SOTU last night.

[tavernier]

I went to the market and heard not one person utter a word about it.

Other than the political ads that pop in and out online, I didn’t see a word written about it (other than in DU and news outlets)

I don’t think anyone saw it other than the choirs on both sides, and even then, very few.

Interested to hear if you all had similar experiences.

1. No one i knew watched it either, everyone is sick of him but glad Nancy let him get it over with

Foregone conclusion that it was just another of his constant grandstanding lying shitshows to be avoided

2. I was elated that our local news

barely mentioned it. And even then it was deep into the show.

3. I think the American people breathed a huge sigh of relief when Ds retook the House in Nov,

they are seeing Pelosi smack down the bully, watching Schiff, Swalwell et al moving forward with real investigations and are content to let the adults - and history - move forward.

4. Someone said about 20 million watched.

123 million people voted in 2016 and around 50 million didn't vote.

8. NYT says 40 million watched trump's Shit Show

40 Million Watched Trump’s Prime-Time Address on TV

I don't trust them, though.

5. I spent the night in the ER

My little sister was having issues, and needed my support. Far better than watching that orange Maggot spew

6. I think the non political public is sick of him. The non political public does not want to watch

him. I truly truly believe the novelty is wearing off here. My sister voted for rump and she knows it was wrong. Instead of just admitting that and moving on she digs in just to go against me. Sooooo I'm laying off..let's see if some reverse psychology 101 can work here.

9. Sounds good.

7. CBS and CNN polls reported that viewers were mostly

Trump supporters and/or republicans.

Forty-three percent of viewers identifying as Republican and 24 percent identifying as Democrats. Thirty percent were independents, according to CBS.

Approval among Republicans was much higher than among Democrats, 97 percent compared to just 30 percent. Eighty-two percent of independents approved.
