The best way to deal with bluster and narcissism is the grey rock method.
That won't work here because of FOX and the influencers will then be the only source for communication with the Trump administration.
The only thing that will work would be a general strike and Emperor's New Clothes moment of huge protests in multiple cities with millions taking part.
That is the only non-violent road forward. And the USA might be too big and too trapped in a digital maroon-ing to be able to coordinate that type of civil action.
Laugh all we can. I agree. But there needs to be a nation-wide coordination of civil disobedience on a scale unseen in the USA ever before. It is going to require getting over differences that the Trump administration will leverage to divide and conquer.
No. The best way is with humor (assuming you don’t have a gun handy). Fascists hate being laughed at. They want to believe they’re the baddest motherfuckers in the room, and cry like little toddlers the second they think they’re not. (Mel Brooks proved this time and again in WWII)
That’s why the ‘stop being weird’ thing worked so well. That’s why Commander Failure had a breakdown to rival a tired four-year-old in his office after the US generals didn’t leap up out of their seats applauding him.
Mock them. Belittle them. Laugh at them. Tell them they’re weird. It will get under their skin like nothing else.
So... Wait.
It's the exact way we deal with misbehaving children?
