In reply to the discussion: Senator Thinks Trump Is Literally 'Insane': 'He Is a Madman' [View all]littlemissmartypants
(31,937 posts)Anything that begins with the words "Trump said..." should be our cue to ignore all that comes next.
It's signal boosting of the worst kind. He thrives on the mention of his name. Why keep encouraging him?
The exact amount of energy that's being wasted on propping up his insanity, crying about his actions and perpetually hand wringing while ruminating in inactivity is an enormous misuse of our imaginations and an even more colossal waste of time. Time, which is the most finite resource we have.
We perpetuate his power and our own misery through it.
I think we could all use some strenuous exercises in self control. He certainly doesn't deserve all of our unintentional help.
We won't be able to meaningfully accomplish any resistance if we keep feeding the beast.
I learned a long time ago that attention is your most vital tool and whatever you focus your attention on, you strengthen.
Time for a giant step towards an act of collective refocusing.
