I'm someone who has been following current events for over FIFTY years! During that time, no human being has gotten this much attention — at least in the USA — as Tyrant Trump! And it’s got to stop!
I know people are scarred! They should be! But focusing on — and repeating — every freakin crazy thing Trump says or does is counter-productive! But, worse yet, we are playing into Tyrant Trump’s despicable hands!
It’s like a form of brainwashing! I swear to the Goddess that if Trump keeled over tomorrow millions of Americans who follow the news would experience intense withdrawl symptoms similar to what a gambler experiences when they are no longer able to place a bet!
Fucking Trump is getting into our heads and is affecting our biochemistry. Anyone brave enough to carefully follow the news hears about his latest outrage — and sees his ugly mug — non-stop. At least hundreds of times a month! All that craziness is not healthy!
I don't pretend to know the answer. But we must learn to protect ourselves better.
Tyrant Trump is the face of fascism. He knows how to manipulate the press and to control the day’s news cycle. The mainstream press is only too happy to oblige, since more outrage=more eyeballs on advertisements=more profits. We must help counter that somehow. There are a lot of very smart people on Daily Kos.
At the same time the vast majority of Americas DON'T carefully follow the news!
I know it’s paradoxical, but one thing is for certain: We need to help wake-up the overwhelming majority of Americans WHO DON’T CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE NEWS! While at the same time take care of ourselves by not letting Tyrant Trump into our heads!
What’s going on politically is like listening to a foreign language to millions of Americans! And, that's gotta to stop!
