A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************

Friend,

Whether it’s because we can’t help ourselves even though we know it won’t
be good for our blood pressure, or because we want to stay informed, many
of us are going to find ourselves tuning in to the first Republican
presidential primary debate tonight.

To help us all prepare for what is surely to be a memorable “debate,”
we’ve come up with this helpful tongue-in-cheek survival guide.

 1. Step 1: Prior to settling down for the debate, make sure to have your
favorite drink and comfort food within easy reach. You don’t want to
find yourself in need of immediate self-soothing without supplies at
the ready.
 2. Step 2: Surround yourself with soft objects. Should you find yourself
reaching to fling something at your TV, smart device, or radio, you
don’t want to cause damage to those objects. Throwing a pillow is
acceptable. Your favorite drink cup—not so much.
 3. Step 3: Confirm a like-minded friend or other loved one is available
for emotional support. The “did you hear that?!” “can you believe
it!?!” and other such in-the-moment confirmation and affirmation
should you need reminding that the things being said are in fact
outrageous, likely untrue, and go against everything we stand for in
fighting to protect and strengthen the American Way.
 4. Remember: there IS another option. This is just one side debating
amongst itself – making extremist attacks against vulnerable
communities. But there are millions more of us who are on the side of
Truth, Justice, and the American Way and our voices will be heard in
the months ahead.
 5. Join us! Here at People For, we are fighting every day to make sure
that our politicians and those in positions of power are held to the
highest standards, that all Americans’ voices and votes are heard and
counted, and that we live in a just and fair society. This work is
more essential than ever as this next election season begins in
earnest and we fight for real solutions that will help us bring about
“an America as good as its promise.”

In all seriousness, we thank you for being a part of our community and for
joining us for what is likely to be a demanding campaign cycle — but one
that will forever change the trajectory of our nation.

— People For the American Way
