We are a nation of rules and the rules are boring. Embrace that. In times of difficulty, go with the boring option. When faced with a frightening crisis, tamp it down with ultra-boring moves. No matter what, stick with the rules.

I can’t avoid talking about Donald Trump but I’m going to make it brief. I know you don’t like him; neither do I. But let’s assume he’s only a politician. He’s not Hitler, Godzilla or the Beast of the Apocalypse—just a guy with a loud mouth and a desperate need for attention. Most Americans think of him that way.

This is not about him. It’s about you.

      Ha! Thanks.

      And wow, that must be an ultra Mandela effect

      I feel like taking his lead, taking their lead definitely means to imitate the behavior of another and just looked at all the major dictionaries because I was so confused by your link.

      Take the lead vs. take their lead

      Can’t believe that’s not in the dictionary, good find.
