There is some good advice and clear eyed thinking in this article. I wish more people would start internalizing this:

Trump’s chief goal is to make us doubt ourselves and resent each other. Resolving misunderstandings and conflicts is a fundamental part of resistance.

Present criticisms in good faith, holding open the door for those who are currently your rivals to eventually become allies, provided that they learn to conduct themselves responsibly. Those spreading divisiveness and toxicity are doing the work of the state.

Yeah I was at a rally when ice stepped into our town and some of the folks where quick to talk about other people in personal terms. Its hard to explain honestly as its sorta a feeling. Like a lady came through and asked a person to move which they did but then having plenty of room asked another person to move (which they did) and it was like wtf. I joined in to complain about the obvious fact that she was looking to more make trouble than move through but then some others started talking about them and how they act and its like I just want to stick to the behavior. Another time an old guy asked about permit and im like why. And he was like for protesting and I was like. Im an american and the right to protest is in the constitution. and he said fuck off or you or whatever. I talked about how quickly he got to the maximum capacity of his discourse and cognitive thinking but did not want to go into what else he might be like or what type of person he is.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
