I don’t have a specific suggestion yet. But my first reaction is that it should meet these criteria: 1. It should be somewhat subtle. 2. It should provoke him into apoplexy. 3. It should make people want to laugh at him.

Everyone wear Yellow and blue
Dress like Zelinsky
I like this
Everyone have a copy of the constitution and a highlighter, mark it up. Don't look up or respond otherwise.
I carry min with me always
Wear the outfit Zelensky wore in the Oval Office. No suits.
in blue for DEMOCRACY
All the women should wear white. All the men should wear the same shirt/slacks as Zelensky. When he walks in, walk out. One row at a time to drag it out as long as possible.
All the democrats walk in with Ukranian flags on their shirts.
This!
I like the shirt with the Ukraine symbol on it, all of them should wear that with khakis.
Maybe with "Krasnov" name badges.
Wear big sunflower masks to honor Ukraine's national flower. It's a symbol of Ukrainian pride, resilience & peace
a sea of sunflowers; how beautiful! 🌻
Everyone should wear dark sunglasses like musk did.
They should all hold up diapers/depends .
That would be hysterical.
feminine products attached to their right ears
Dems should wear fatigues with yellow and blue armbands.
They shouldn’t attend. Instead they should spend that time volunteering with an organization that has been or will be hurt by Trump’s budget cuts. VA hospitals, Meals on Wheels, nursing homes, etc. Every elected D out there helping the vulnerable populations that he will be bragging about hurting.
Boo him coming in and going out of the building. Don't stand up for him. Stay seated. Boo, and boo some more. Disrupt the criminal. Bleacher stomp his lies. Everytime he lies, stomp 100 times.
They should invite Zelensky to speak.
No, we don't need to center Zelensky as a prop in our domestic political battles. That just makes it easier for people to discredit him as a partisan actor rather than just a guy trying to get the best for his country.
I know. I mentioned it only because it would royally piss off Trump. Zelensky would never accept, nor should he.
I like that! I had to look up apoplexy, but…I like it!
All the Democrats should wear Zelensky-style combat outfits. Subtext: We are at war for American democracy. And you don’t deserve our respect.
I don’t think Zelenskyy was wearing it to show disrespect. I think it was just his symbol of being at war.
It was - that’s well-known. But the Republicans have wilfully chosen to define it as disrespect. Time for the Democrats to choose a side.
Yes. The same republicans that don’t see Musk wearing T-shirt and ball cap to the Oval Office or official meetings as disrespectful. Or the ones that post Al photos of Bone Spurs in make believe decorated military uniforms. So sad on so many levels.
My fear is he would just take that out on Ukraine
That’s why they shouldn’t have Ukrainian flags or pictures of Zelensky - this is about a lack of respect. Or they should just all turn up in brightly coloured T-shirts and baseball caps (echoing Musk without the Nazi vibes)…
He already will
Fuck. Him.
He’s already done that.
What MORE could King TRUMP 👑 DO—They have pulled FUNDS!! The World will be watching this Spectacular to SEE how AMERICANS behave & ACT towards this Monarchy 💁🏼♀️… YOU👈MUST send silent message during Address & FIND a MICROPHONE 🎤 when DONE—EVERY1 ✔️
Definitely DRESS DOWN ⬇️… Even Camo HATS!! Total disrespect of HIS Station & VALUES!! Control the NARRATIVE!!
He's going to do that anyway.
How about the Dems invite some decent American generals and admirals, and some of their true-blooded American troops, and arrest the filthy Russian operatives who’ve usurped our White House? What’s wrong with you people? Get serious! We have a foreign enemy in our White House!
Why subtle?
Love the way you think 💙
Do the dress-code 2-step in honor of the “cherished” Oval Office: half dress as Zelensky and half as Elroy Musk.
don’t stand or clap, reminiscent of Obama’s years.
They should all carry little Ukrainian flags
I think all Dems should boycott the state of the union
All have the same copy of the newspaper…. The one from Europe with trump and Putin shaking hands. As soon as he starts talking pull them out and open the paper up, hiding their faces. Do this for his speech. Then 3 mins into it (to represent the 3 years of war) get up fold your paper and walk out.
They should all dress like Zelenskyy and carry the Ukrainian flag with them.
Yes and then leave one at a time as he speaks. The back of their shirts should read LOSER: ZELENSKY WINS!
Ohhhhhhh.......I like it, I like it!
CALL REPRESENTATIVES TELL THEM NOT TO SHOW UP. TELL THEM TO SHOUT STAND UP FOR US CAUSE A FUCKING RIOT SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF THEM OR BOYCOTT. EITHER CAUSE A SHIT SHOW OR STAY HOME. PROTEST ON THE STEPS OF THE CAPITAL BUT DO SOMETHING.
yes, as mtg did at Biden's state of the union address dressed in maga gear
Stand up and walk out as he’s talking- as a group.
Not wear a suit. Shirt and trousers no tie. Women wear pants and shirts with ties.
Dress like Zelenskyy but with upside down American flag pins
Have Bill Burr do the oppo response.
It definitely wouldn't fit the mode of subtle, but it would be freaking amazing if every Dem went to the State of the Union in full orange face makeup matching his.
Kazoos
All Democrats if they don’t boycott which I’m hoping they do, should dress in light blue and yellow.
Maybe just chant “shame - shame- shame”
Laugh at ever point he tries to make
Walk out. Let trump and America see his small crowd size in the gallery. Force our malfeasant press to do split screen coverage of both events simultaneously. Just use logic. Everything trump says is a lie or a delusion so his words are a pointless exercise. SOTU Walk Out for Democracy
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social
this would be the most effective 🙌🏻
Walk in holding a copy of the Constitution
Blue suits with yellow shirts. And if Musk is in attendance wearing a black baseball hat, everyone should wear one too but with democracy written on it.
Black ball cap with American Flag upside down
Hire a sharpshooter?
Winner
Wear all blue and yellow
Go, but when he starts talking, stand up, turn their backs on him, and stay that way until he ends. Those that can't stand for that long should do it as long as possible, then walk out.
Regardless of political affiliation, hold public meetings & get the messages out there. Another suggestion is for Dems to pay for billboards in Every state in which Elon is contributing to a campaign w/caption of the amt & “Do voters want billionaires to pay for politicians?”
Would love to see them all walk out to a crowd shouting "lock him up" and giving the US the real story of what's going on.
A wrong answer buzzer for each lie. Throw him off
oh i like this, made me laugh😂
These answers are all making me giggle (with happiness).
"somewhat subtle" There goes my idea of shouting "You lie!" in unison at every sufficiently surreal falsehood.
Agreed. Except they should take turns yelling “you lie” after each applause line. The single voice is more impactful…especially if it’s a different person each time.
How about just a sign that says [citation needed]?
My suggestion: wear a bright yellow shirt/blouse and light blue pants/skirt to the SOTU address.
All should show up with small hand signs with a tongue suppressor-size handle and all hold them up in unison every time he tells a lie.
Yes, making as much fun of him as possible.
Let Al Franken deliver it.
Subtle does not work against Trump.. it has to be in his face.. that is when his extreme cowardice shows
Stand up, lock arms and sing "We Shall Overcome" every 15 minutes .
bsky.app/profile/illi...
This.
Dress like Zelenskyy.
I think Congress has an actual written dress code for themselves. Nothing wrong with how Zelenskyy dressed at WH but Congressmembers flouting their own dress code or their own behavior codes would dishonor themselves rather than send a message to tRump.
Fetterman went to Trump’s inauguration in hoodie and shorts
Fetterman has proven himself in the long-term to be an idiot and a coward who now toadies to Trump. I would NOT recommend following in his footsteps.
I actually don’t think Fetterman is an idiot per se, however, I do think he has fallen out of step with the priorities of the non-MAGA. I don’t know why. Would love to figure it out.
likely 🤑
I was gonna suggest this
If dress code prevents your suggestion. Every member should wear Ukrainian colors.
Lol. Yes!
They should all wear yellow or blue and a statement piece like a Ukrainian flag pin. Or just don’t go at all in protest.
Everyone incorporate the colours of Ukraine in their dress & it could be either scarf for woman & pocket square for the men.
Fuck subtle, it should be loud and overwhelming.
I agree.
Then the story is about the Dems behavior, not about Trump's destructive policies. That's where the emphasis should be because that's where most voters (even those who voted for Trump) can gather. "He's gone too far."
We all know about his destructive policies, we have been living with them for 6 weeks. I'm tired of the weak, milquetoast Democrats sitting back and watching, it's time for a street fight.
Jabba, were you expecting to be taken seriously? You want AOC out here swinging her fists? I'm sure that will fix everything. How about most of the electorate? Great street fighters, amirite?
Do you actually believe I meant an actual street fight? It was a metaphor, it's time to fight like they fight, sitting back and shaking their heads during the SOTU, then posting on Bluesky isn't going to do anything and you know it.
So what would that look like. What is this "street fight" supposed to look like. I believe that was the question she asked.
When Trump lies, which is always, someone stands up and fact checks him in real time, and they do it loud enough so everyone can hear him. They don't have to act like a clown, like MTG does, but they need to speak the truth with no misunderstanding.
Possible consequence: permanent expulsion from the House. (Which would mean one less vote for Dems, in a razor thin House.) Maybe we need to think this through.
(Just because MTG wasn't expelled, doesn't mean the GOP wouldn't take the opportunity to censure, fine or expel a Dem.)
So we're back to square one where we do nothing and we back down to the bullies like we always do, that's why we're in this mess to begin with. We can’t reach Republican voters because they live in a propaganda bubble, we have to break through that bubble on live TV. I don't know what else to do.
I think he was using metaphor.
I find it so interesting when men use these physical metaphors to sound tough, but when pressed on what they mean, don't have anything practical to actually suggest. They just like the sound of tough.
I think that women also use the word “fight”.
with MAGA, anything goes fight 🔥 with 🔥
Definitely must be hilariously belittling. That is his greatest fear.
They all stand as he approaches the mike, then file out silently, head to their offices, & have a virtual town hall in their districts. TALK ABOUT WHAT DEMOCRATS WANT TO CHANGE! Increasing minimum wage, guaranteed access to all health care for all, because health care is between a patient & their MD
THIS!!! Be there and then walk out so he sees it. Wear blue and yellow. Love the virtual town hall idea. Stream it, let other Americans know they are not alone in their horror at what is happening, AND compete with the ratings of the SOTU speech.
STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR US. NOTHING SUBTLE ABOUT IT. YELL LIAR FELON BRING THE FUCKING ROOM DOWN. STAND UP FOR WE THE PEOPLE.
like all Dems show up in demonstrably obvious, haphazardly-applied orange makeup and red neck ties that reach the floor...and clown shoes
I think they have a dress code they have to follow.
On pain of what?
Ejection from the room…a walk out as felon starts to speak would speak volumes I believe with dressing in yellow and blue.
I’m not sure on that but I believe it’s been done in the past…
They should go in. At a specific moment, a time into the speech they all agree on, (five minute, ten minutes) they should all stand up, turn their backs on him and stand silent for one minute. Then all walk out. Go out and hold their own rally with AOC or Pete giving their own SOTU speech.
Yes! This! Make sure that there is a large group of media to televise/report on it. Invite citizens to join the rally. This would be awesome. They could take off their jackets outside and expose anti Trump t shirts.
They could all wear diapers with brown stains on the backside over their clothes! He would have a total meltdown!
His supporters do that.
There IS NO UNION at this moment so why go to a speech by a Nazi about something that doesn't exist? Showing up would kinda be an act of compliance. I think you should stay home. Every single Democrat should boycott this propagandist's lunacy if they want my vote next time. I'm keeping track...
I agree with subtle. Don't let him have all the MAGA goons acting all high and mighty. Shouting like MTG or turning your backs or walking out...meh. a Ukraine flag pin or something like that would be cool. Dressing like Zelensky would be great.
The Dems should wave Ukrainian flags at him - or wear something that symbolizes Ukraine. They should stand up, boo and yell "You Lie! & Putin's Bitch!" They should walk out in the midlle of his speech. That should send him into a apopletic fit.
Another idea - A bell or chalkboard something to count each lie in real-time
Or a bike horn sound…. youtu.be/3HzVOCbaT3M?...
Random Whoopie Cushions?
😂
He told EVERYONE his trigger word in his first debate with Hilary Clinton. He kept spouting it at HER because to HIM it’s hurtful & insulting. The word is “WRONG.” You speak to him directly & you say, “Donald, you were wrong.., that decision was wrong… your conclusion was wrong, … YOU ARE WRONG..”
and NO wealthy hate the word "NO"
They might praise trump's first term successes in Palestine and North Korea.
Show up, keep their backs turned with their hands over their ears for entirety of trumps word vomit.
FUCK THAT! NO DECORUM. NO SUBTLETY. FIGHT. FIGHT FIGHT
Orange facepaint and crazy yellow wigs. Shout "Yes, dear leader!" after every statement he makes.
Someone made this suggestion in another thread-every single dem in congress should have a town hall that night. Couldn’t agree more.
I like this!
I agree with this! Why sit and listen to lies when they can be at town halls with their constituents listening to suggestions from the people.
Dress casual.
Bring a lot of handcuffs and arrest the Traitorous Republican Fuckers. Throw them in the deepest hole you can find.Then hold a new election.
Definitely want to have people laughing at him. He will lose it.
Walk out once it's started. If you stay home they will fill the seats with clapping corpses before the event begins.
Excellent point. Or they could stay and stare at their phones in silence the whole time. Also, yell “LIAR” a lot.
A LOT!! I don’t think they can bring in cellphones 📱 but NOT sure… But if you CAN—Txt during the ENTIRE address & maybe a practiced WAVE through the DEM section when they ANNOUNCE SCOTUS as a cool AFFECT 👍🤔✔️
That would be a beautiful moment! En masse or slowly one by one?
My juvenile mind thinks one every 60-120 seconds for maximum prolonged disruption. Perhaps walking funny as if they really need to use the bathroom. 🙂
Or about to vomit.😂
I would add humiliation to that.
Maybe they should all wear dead animals on their heads 🤷♀️ Also… seriously wear Ukrainian colors.
Yell loudly lie Everytime he said one. Just like they did to Obama.
I like this idea.
1. Dress in your best "Zelensky" outfit. 2. Stand throughout the speech. 3. Walk out at the end without having made a sound or movement throughout.
clown noses? That's subtle...and funny. Maybe get them printed with MAGA
Once a minute one of you yell 'YOU'RE A CLOWN' really loud. Then all of you immediately laugh loudly for a few seconds. Then back to silence. Every 60 seconds. Occasionally vary it and have the heckler yell 'DANCE CLOWN!, DANCE!".
Love this! ❤️🤡🐘💩
They could wear signs that say a variety of things. No matter what, it would be nice to see them protest.
Silently stand and turn your backs to him. Few things should irritate an egomaniac more.
Also can't be re-interpreted by media very easily.
This
This.
Dems should not attend, but instead fill the seats with life sized cardboard cutouts of Putin.
Paint your faces orange?
Or better yet, wear the American Flag upside down along with the Ukraine Flag.
Maybe Ukraine 🇺🇦 flag beside the American 🇺🇸 flag.
Everyone should wear something with the Ukraine 🇺🇦 flag on it and no clapping or standing. Another idea, all democrats boycott the State on the Union. Not sure if that’s possible?
Dems can invite guests to the address can’t they?
I think the dems should all show up with Zelenskyy masks on popsicle sticks that they can all hold up in unison when Trump is talking or not show up at all
I just said that before I saw your reply. Good thinking.
NOT SHOW UP AT ALL.
Dems should not show up at all.
Laugh and point at him.
yell, "Liar!", like repubs did to dems during Obama's admin
Maybe everyone gets a zelensky outfit with thank you America printed on the back
Make people laugh at him like they did at the UN.
Ukrainian flags all over the place.
Walk in with toilet paper stuck to their shoes? Walk in with "comb overs" or bright orange makeup on?
Wear diapers.
Show around a poster with a tiny wiener on it, ala' Marge...
chatgpt.com/share/67c3d6...
I'm kinda warming up to the idea of slowly walking out after he's started.
All the men could wear unusually long red ties.
Or the women could wear them
That, too!
I’d go , then upon tru*p heading for the lectern EXIT THE HOUSE in UNISON!
Put Zelensky masks on!
Something that doesn’t violate decorum rules but embarrasses him.
Well the burning of the Reichstag comes to mind
I would have ONLY women and non-White people show up. The White guys wait in the anteroom or the bar across the street or whatever
Wear blue and yellow and turn their backs to him when he enters
Or just leave after he walks in so they won't have time to fill up the seats.
Ohhhh! Good idea
Oh I like this one!
And yell “Liar! Traitor!” at every chance.
Dream scenario: Dems should wear the colors of the USA in front and Ukraine in back. Then, when FOTUS takes his position, they should all turn around, showing him the Ukraine colors on their backs, and walk out.
stop wearing “respectable” clothing to ANYTHING where Trump/Vance are from now on. Veterans dress as veterans. Wear Ukrainian colors. Wear shirts representing something maga has done to hurt people in red areas: Social security cuts, insulin prices, agricultural cuts, rising prices
Eat Corn Nuts. Chew loudly.
Don’t go
Wear shirts with the Ukrainian flag on it or with a picture of him kissing Musk's feet. It will kill him!!!
Anything that takes attention from him would work, he has to be the star. Of course could have interruption asking when Elon is going to seak
So clown noses for everyone then?
This was one of my first thoughts, but then I thought of how media would be posting pictures of every dem looking like a clown forever. I do this this could have merit for people showing up to protests though.
They should stand with their back turned to him during the entire address.
How about Blue Caps that say Make America Strong Again?
I prefer something his juvenile. When he walks in, stare wide-eyed, & ponit at him while whispering to your neighbor & snickering. Neighbor repeats the process until the whole Democratic side is cackling & pointing. THEN walk out. He doesn’t deserve a dignified rebuke like a silent walkout.
DO NOT SHOW UP. THERE CANNOT BE ONE DEMOCRAT IN THAT ROOM.
Mass Zelensky dress up
A hat trick
Congress and MS media aren’t working, SCOTUS is packed. There is no opposition. Open a Democratic You Tube channel, professional propaganda is VITAL. Introduce normal people who have been deceived by Trump. Every elected Democrat to denounce this appalling fiasco before it’s too late.
Walk out humming the Battle Hymn of the Republic, a la "Animal House."
😉😉
3 YES, YES, YES. - Have been saying this forever.
Yes. He hates to be mocked.
Wear T shirts and Jeans. American pins upside down
Or people can wear clothing representing those who have had their jobs terminated such as foresters, or people with the measles. Or soldiers.
All wear blue and yellow
Show up each holding a visual image of their horrific things he’s done. Definitely boo
Yes like this George A Dem should hold a sign that says “JD go fuck your couch not the country”
And I don’t personally give a fuck whether Hillary Clinton is in office or not She needs to be in the audience, holding a “lock him up”sign
Blast this over the intercom when he’s entering the chamber? www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOAt...
Ooooh that’s a good start and low cost too! Maybe a few Heil Hitler salutes as he waddles down the aisle?
is that a yes or a no on the maxi-pads taped to the right ear?
Oh. Even better. Egg him and hold up signs asking how the price of eggs is going!
good idea, but the price of eggs . . . 😟
We could set up a go fund me page to pay for the eggs tossed his way!
Perhaps have the entire caucus stand up and hold up newspapers from all over the world condemning him. Optional substitute for newspaper: Pictures of protests across the country.
This is good 👌
This is the best suggestion. Walking out gives him something to ridicule the Dems for and provides an enthusiastic R audience remaining in the hall. Staying and mocking him to his face makes him have to squirm through his speech.
1. It should NOT be subtle. 2. Nothing can provoke him like being ignored. 3. Worse than being laughed at is being "disrespected." They should show up dressed like President Zelenskyy. The minute trump speaks, each row of Democrats stands up and leaves carrying signs with appropriate messaging.
4. It should involve Kazoos.
Lol
😂
All Democratic lawmakers should wear [Zelenskyy-esque] fatigues.
Everyone wear shoe lifts, lean forward, and clap tiny hands like that Kristin Wigg character in SNL
The men could all show up wearing bronzer, and then wipe their faces clean while he speaks.
With their hair all disheveled.
This would actually be funny and really get him.
YES!
Spitballs? Someone slaps "kick me" on his back just as he approaches the podium? Could be fun.
I'd say find and invite all of his "alleged" 🙄 sexual assault victims to sit in the front row. But they don't need an even bigger target on them than they already have.
THERE CANNOT NOT BE ANYTHING SUBTLE ABOUT IT. YELL LIAR REPEATEDLY. BOO. CALL HIM PUTIND PUPPET. THROW FUCKING DECORUM OUT THE WINDOW. GIVE THE COUNTRY SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF
Dems could have a new slogan - Bringing America Together Again (BATA)
When he starts speaking, everyone just quietly put on cardboard Zelenskyy masks
Stop the bleeding. STB
SAFE, Saving America From Evil
FWIW, and it’s not worth even 1cent, SAFE will not resonate with many folks.
It helps any slogan if you have a con man lying about the big beautiful plan. 🤣
Like all wear blue and yellow?
Every anti Trumper should have yellow/blue on along with our Flag. When the Republicans applaud, every anti Trumper should pull out the Constitution to read or yell Traitor!
STAND OUTSIDE IN MASS AND FUCKING PROTEST
They could at least stand united. Hint hint Dem Senate
Wear only Ukrainian Blue and Yellow (no other clothing colors)
Love this idea. And signs that say “Thank you, Ukraine.”
Tee shirts and sweats
I love this.
I like it. Please don’t let it be business as usual.
All Democrats at the SOTU should wear what Zelenskyy was wearing in the meeting with Tweetledum and Tweetlescum.
Upon his first lie, which will be quickly, stand up and walk out enmasse
Why subtle?
Impeach him. 5 minutes ago.
This is impossible with Republicans in control of Congress. It would never be considered in the judiciary committee (where impeachments start) much less get a majority House vote. Last time a Senate majority (57) voted to convict but it has to be 2/3rds. It’d never pass. 1)
Any one who filed articles of impeachment would be laughed at like MT Greene was when she kept trying to impeach Biden. 2)
I understand it's just wishful thinking for now. Now that Trump has shown his traitorous side again, I hope things will change but I won't believe it until it happens.
I totally understand!!
I still think shouting out "You Lie" at a point with an obnoxious lie would be effective. Rs would claim it's not appropriate, while trying to defend their past behavior at SOTU speeches
Maybe... Blue and yellow neckties or scarves on every Democratic member in attendance? As close to the Ukrainian flag color shades as possible.
A mass mooning
Dress in Zelensky wear. Just like what he wore yesterday. Every last Dem.
The strategy of calling him a liar has never worked. I want to see to see the strength and composure of Zelenskyy in our congressional professionals.
Be the opposite of MTG last year. Be classy, professional, strong. Don’t stoop. Afterwards hold a large scale SOTU with allies from other nations and Americans who have already been hurt by the administration.
Everyone wear ridiculously long red ties and hold a hairbrush to wave when he lies.
Like, if everyone wore orange makeup? 🍊
Wear Ukrainian ribbons, for a start.
Do not stand, laugh at every lie.
Invite Zelensky.
If they go, all should where rumpty dumpty hair and a Bozo nose!
Everyone should dress in Ukraine's colors.....
Clothes Pegs ‘cos he stinks; Literally and figuratively.
All Dems wear Orange spray tan
Stay home, don't show up. No Dems should be in room.
Every time he lies, a member of the caucus gets up and walks out.
Shouldn’t be many left by the end
Lol they’d all be gone within five minutes.
Stand up to him because “poof like that, he’s gone”.
What about wearing Ukrainian colors?
Keep yelling “that’s a lie!” Whenever he lies, which is usually quite often.
Everyone wear blue and yellow. Everyone wear a mask. Everyone have a black armband. Everyone have iPods in.
*earpods?
Boycott it.
Wear Canadian or Ukrainian colours ?
Bring a laugh track and prepare to play at full volume
a fart cushion 🍑💨
make it a "reality TV" show
I want "townhall in a red district" energy. Do these people represent us or not? We have clearly demonstrated to them what we want them to do.
Maybe they should all snack on Cheetos throughout
How about accidental mentions of President Musk?
Obama, Liz Cheney, Hunter and Joe Biden,and Hilary have free rent in his head. Maybe their cardboard cutouts should be there too?
Don't show up for the man who puts Kremlin talking points before our allies.
If you can’t stand up and turn around to give him your backs, put paper bags over your heads with eye and nose cut outs (so no one faints and so you can see his reaction.) Do not make a sound. It will get weird but it will make a statement.
The paper bags could be yellow and blue.
Stand up and give him your backs.
