Remember how it felt back in 2011 when the crash hit? The desperation, the fury, the fire in your gut? That jolt-realization that the 1% doesn't give a shit about you?
Trump's actions in the first month of his presidency are way more destructive than the crash of 2011. This time, it's not just our livelihoods on the line. It's our dignity... our clarity of mind... our freedom... our whole 250-year experiment in constitutional democracy.
It's time to respond with a different tactic.
Trump is expecting rage. He WANTS you to blow a gasket — that means he's got you, he's in your head. So this time we don't take the bait.
Our most potent weapon is not rage but ridicule. Ridicule is irrational. It's infuriating. And there's no defense.
So starting this Friday and every Friday thereafter, we go to Lafayette Park and ... dance our hearts out.
And at the climax of every dance, we turn towards the White House and raise our middle fingers in perfect unison. It's independence day, you ridiculous bastard, and this is our flag.
We're occupying YOUR head now, we're laughing in your fucking face. Get used to it.
