Resist!

[Hypoxia]

Robert Reich did not write this but he says it contains good ideas.

...How to peacefully resist the Trump administration and its policies...

1. Don’t use the president’s surname.

2. Remember this is a regime and he’s not acting alone.

3. Do not argue with those who support him—it doesn’t work.

4. Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness and mental state.

5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies grow.

6. No more helpless/hopeless talk

7. Support artists and the arts

8. Be careful not to spread fake news—check it out first.

9. Take care of yourselves and

10 RESIST. Copy to paste to your wall.

This wasn't by Reich; he breaks Rule #1 a lot.

Physical / mental health, golf, hookers, tweets -- these don't matter. What his appointees and other minions do, matters. Notice there's nothing here about defending or supporting Dums, or attacking Gups. Talk about the effects of Tromp's cabal's slimy schemes. Ask: who gains, who loses?

Of course, I can see Trump throwing a temper tantrum anyway.

LOL......what a fuckin' drama queen.

As bad as the birthers.

Focusing too much on what the slimy cabal is doing raises my BP to terrible levels.

Just listened to a podcast tonight devoted to what Shithead Ryan Zinke is doing to National Parks. Ha! Ha ha ha ha!

Among other things, he disbanded the wildlife protection board and installed in its place some kind of "Sportsman" and "Hunting" board.

He also did away with the law that you can't take plastic containers into Nat'l Parks.

So yeah, protecting America's parks = come on in and pollute and kill, frack and drill, it's a free for all.

It sounds somewhat like a make-nice-nice list to me.

At this time, the most important point is to stand up to the bullies, but do so in real life, not just in these two-bit Lit forums.

I’m thinking of this a lot lately. What words do you use? I’d love an example of something you heard/saw and how you replied.

I sometimes don’t say enough out of fear I’ll upset, hurt, offend...

On this forum, I use the word "Repugnican" when a supporter of the Stable Genius is making excuses for their president's lies or outright incivility. I don't care who gets offended. This shoe really fits at this point in history. Don't ignore a pathological liar who has that much power.

In real life, I am making financial and labor contributions to groups that are suing the Trump administration's assault on the environment and to groups who are conducting voter registration drives. Getting ready for the 2018 mid-term election.

I live in the bluest of states. I'll volunteer for get out the vote but it hardly seems necessary.

This year I donated to the ACLU and Planned Parenthood for the first time.

I also donated to GoFundMe for the families of LaDavid Johnson and Jorge Garcia. You want to see racism and xenophobia, look at the comments trolls leave on those pages, it's hair-raising even for me.

Also I gave $20 bucks to a homeless lady with a cat.
