One of the tools that Trump uses is to make people feel demoralized. And he's good at it. But the antidote to that is art, community, and hope. Stay connected. Stay curious. Don't let them take that from us.

The Bishop who spoke to Trump was explaining the ideology of Jesus. He calls that "woke." He's like, the literal antichrist. The opposite of Christ.

2/2 I think people need to just identify it, and move on. He's a fascist. End of story. He supports the modern German fascist party. If you can't see that plain as day I'm done talking to you. Your brain is not functioning. It's gonna be a long four years.

As a former Evangelical it's insane for me to see how they have embraced the literal opposite of their faith. And denounce a person reminding them of what the bible says.
It's bizarro world.

I think the most effective way to resist this modern fascism is to model prosocial behavior. And call out antisocial behavior.
Prosocial- be kind, helpful, generous, protect the marginalized.
Antisocial- things like Musk and his salute.
Normalize the good. Call out the bad.

You can get a lot of engagement talking shit about this administration. But what good does it do if we're not building a new vision for the future?
