We are not in a place where decorum wins right now. A significant number of people voted for DJT because it felt better to be the frog smashed with a sledgehammer than the one slowly boiled by a Democratic administration. People vote against their interest when they have no hope that the system can save them. Fighting against that destructive attitude cannot be done quietly.
I thought the signs were pretty lame, but I dont think sitting quietly is the answer either. I was thinking a coordinated quiet and orderly departure from the chambers upon 1 of Trump's biggest lies or the most important subject ( choice) might have been a more effective protest.
Detail about China owning US debt: it appears China "only" owns about $1 trillion, so about 3% of our $37 trillion. I'm not sure if there's nuance I'm missing though, just did a Google search.
My immediate reaction was the Democrats shouldn’t have attended in the first place. It was a campaign event only and didn’t deserve their attendance.
