I can't say no to my parents because I suck. As you may recall, they dragged me to a similar Donald Trump rally a year ago that I posted live updates on. I doubt this will be as exciting as Trump supporters waving signs and dressing up in insane costumes (the Victorian era gentleman with a top hat that said TRUMP is still in my mind), but if people are interested, I can sum up O'Reilly's opinions when I see them.

Actually, the worst thing about this isn't that I have to listen to Bill O'Reilly, it's that it takes like three hours to drive to Anaheim to do it. This is a nine hour devotion of my life to do something I know I'll find unpleasant.

Feign illness or come up with some lie that will get you out of it.

There's free speech in this country. You have every right to not attend that.

Not living with your parents but still joining them to listen to a provocative TV Republican bully means you're actually a conservative.

Seriously, just say no if you don't want to go.

It's not rude or disrespectful to disagree with your parents. You're your own person, you're allowed to walk a different path then them. There is absolutely nothing they can do to make you go. This is all on you.

I know that I am capable of saying no. But I honestly don't want to disappoint them, I already agreed to go, and I don't want to waste the money they spent on the tickets. It at least theoretically could be a good bonding thing, even though I know it probably won't be.

I don't really need an excuse, I've had many arguments with them in the past about both politics and weird conspiracy theories they like.

If having your own separate political beliefs is "disappointing" to your parents, then maybe consider looking up to other people. That's about as nicely I can put that.

Pay your parents back for the ticket. If they ask why you don't want to go, just tell them that you've given Bill a chance in the past but do not agree with his ideals, and in fact consider him to be a less than pleasant person to listen to.

Ill post pics when I can upload pics.

I actually have incredibly good seating for this. Id be excited if I would ever be excited for this.

The theater is I want to say 1/3 full, I will say how full it is once the speech starts.

Demographic estimate: 99.9% white, average age of 55. I did see one black guy. Ive searched for anyone else who isnt white but come up with nothing. I will say its pretty gender equal, there might even be more women.
