“ that is not how Trump or authoritarians roll. They want to be in our heads every day, maniacally driving, dictating, our understandings. Which is why to beat Trump we must learn how to unplug from that process, recognize it for what it is - a form of control - and learn how to approach our days from our understandings, not his. Not letting him dictate the day to day news flow, continually overwhelm us, and determine our understandings, is perhaps the most important form of defiance we must practice, for all other acts of defiance flow from it. As we often say here one of our most important jobs is to not let his madness become our own.”
