They WANT to exhaust you, so do whatever you need to to disconnect ("yes" to all your suggestions). I'd also say just to follow the most important issue TO YOU, not the chaos of the day. Pick something to focus on, donate, talk about it and just stick to your one thing to advocate for.

Our country is in a relationship with a malignant narcissistic sociopath. The narcissist's formula: Create chaos based on petty vendettas + gaslighting(blame someone else)/"it never happened" + "you're all overreacting"= toxic cycle of abuse that the flying monkeys will make excuses for.
Fun stuff.

My 85 year old dad and I were on a driving trip this weekend, and some jerk going 90+ mph was weaving in and out, almost caused an accident right in front of us. Dad yelled, "Trump voter!" instead of "Asshole!", and it immediately became what we would say every time we saw a jerky driver.

"America First" is a philosophy of "ME first". And most of us don't like selfish people. We don't enjoy being around entitled, cut-in-line, the-world-revolves-around-me, road-rage kind of people. They actually suck.
These are the MAGATS.

I have one friend who lives close enough to just come over when she or I need support. We ALL need this friend. A hug is priceless.

It's all public, unless you block folks you don't actually know. 😔 It's cumbersome and not the solution I was hoping for, but at least I have a way to connect with folks...

Anyone who is still trying to convince
his supporters that he's morally corrupt has never dealt with a narcissist and his flying monkeys. Stop talking to them. Grey rock the abuser and the minions, too. It's not that the don't get it. They do. They understand AND agree with his behavior.

That is an impressive affirmation. I may have to borrow.

Fascinating how the cretin is totally driven by fear. Every decision shows either fear of others, fear of fact, fear of communication, or fear of everything. He's an ego-maniacal malignant narcissist who can't tolerate information other than his own misguided opinion.

This is like the government just deciding not to send you your social security check (that you paid into for your entire career) because they don't approve of your retirement travel plans.
California should secede at this point.

I hate hate. So saddened.

Said goodbye to democracy last night. Whatever comes next will be dark, messy, and incomprehensible by folks who believe in truth, justice, respect, and decency. Buckle up.

They WANT a civil war. Scary stuff ahead.

I am pretty certain that there is no Trump supporter that felt this much dread on the eve of Obama's or Biden's inauguration. I am saying goodbye to truth, respect, kindness, generosity, community, love, and the United States of America this weekend.

Statement from President Joe Biden on the Equal Rights Amendment | The White House I have supported the Equal Rights Amendment for more than 50 years, and I have long been clear that no one should be discriminated against based on their

Good politicking. Now Trump's flying monkeys will have to make a case AGAINST equal rights for women in Congress and the courts. Fun times. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

There is not one apathetic cell in my body. I'm with you!

What are your causes? Instead of feeling helpless, now is the time to support what matters to you. For me, it's my ACLU membership, my monthly donation to Planned Parenthood. And supporting journalists who are leaving corporate owned media sources. Comment below on which organizations matter to you.

Interesting graphic. Imagine if the blue area were on fire. This is a massive catastrophe.
