I’ve mentioned here and there that my immediate response to the first Trump presidency was to stop consuming news and opinion. I did that for six months. It worked very well for me.
I never considered what I would do in the event of a reprise, because I never considered that such a terrible thing could happen again.
I’m really naive sometimes.
Clearly, though I’ve indulged it rather copiously for the past couple of days, hair-trigger rage is not a viable long-term approach. It’s not good for me. More importantly, it doesn’t accomplish anything productive. However, not paying attention to any news and opinion for any length of time isn’t workable this time either.
(On day one, our esteemed president declared by executive order that my daughter doesn’t exist.)
My research has begun in earnest. We must do everything we can to counter the second Trump presidency effectively.
