    He’s already said he plans to get legal clearance to murder his enemies, I’m not sure why anyone is surprised by any of the war mongering garbage he vomits out anymore

      don’t. don’t become numb. don’t refuse to be surprised. that’s what he wants. the strategy he’s found that works is to ddos emotions until they are so much you are forced to ignore it. that’s what happened in 2015. it’s what’s happening now.

      take personal space where you need. take a breath as an individual. but don’t push for understanding or acceptance universally, as though this is “just how he is.”

      a society that isn’t surprised by fascism is not electrified to prevent it, and is essentially prepared to stoke it.
