6 Ways Not to Resist Donald Trump

Haven't seen this posted here and feel it has great advice. I love criticizing the idiot-in-chief but am careful outside of like minded forums. The point is we have to resist and do it in a calculated way. Thoughts?

"Liberals had a big success this week. What could have been a purely demoralizing inaugural weekend for Blue America instead ended with a shot in the arm, as the Women’s March exceeded all expectations—and the inauguration itself—with as many as 4.7 million people estimated to have participated in events across the 50 states. Not a shabby way to begin “The Resistance”—and a sure sign that liberals should be able to mobilize effectively in opposition to Trump in the coming years.

That is, if they don’t lose their minds first. The Women’s March might have been a success in the broader sense, but the past week has also seen liberals behaving in ways that will only hurt their cause—from egging on violence to squabbling over who belongs in their movement to dropping F-bombs on live TV. If the bad starts to overshadow the good, the much-hyped resistance movement will end up being little more than an annoying mosquito in Donald Trump’s ear, one that he will be all too happy to squash.

1. Don’t Encourage Nazi-Punchers, Window-Smashers and Limo-Arsonists

Before the powerfully peaceful Women’s Marches on Saturday, we saw the horrible Inauguration Day riots orchestrated by the the completely separate anarcho-leftist group named Disrupt J20. Vowing, but failing, to disrupt the swearing-in itself, J20 and its hangers-on attacked corporate symbols, smashed storefront windows and even set a limousine aflame. More than 200 were arrested.

6. Don’t Play Trump’s Game. Stick to the Issues

Besting Trump on crowds was fun, and an important morale boost for the left. “Took us 5 years to get numbers this big against G.W. Bush. Only 24 hours against Trump,” tweeted CNN’s Van Jones. And there is no question that the huge crowd sizes got under Trump’s skin, compelling his team to brazenly lie about his own crowds during his first days in office. But before you spend all week hammering Trump and his lackeys for their lies, remember: Trump thrives on these nonsensical fights."

3. especially valuable dont focus on trump focus on issues - we know he is a liar so bring up the issue

he is lying about more than the fact he is lying etc

4. I agree

Just talking the issues calmly has gotten more than a few conservatives (not trumpsters) to listen.
