Anything that starts with a quote from Noam Chomsky can't be all bad, right?

5 Resistance Resolutions

1. Practice resistance each day. Political resistance is an American tradition; “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Take a stand for democracy. Slow down and focus. Resist.

Perhaps begin each day with an aphorism: “I am a patriot;” “Actions speak louder than words;” “It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end;” “I will not let Trump defeat me.” Whatever works for you.

Above all, resist the Trump propaganda machine that repeats lies over and over until many Americans believe they are the truth. (Wait, isn't repeating lies over and over the first page of their playbook?)

2. Acknowledge that you are grieving. Trump’s victory was a traumatic event, a death of sorts. Place yourself along the continuum of the five stages of grief; are you in denial, anger, bargaining, depression, or acceptance?

3. Spend time in nature. Instead of watching the news or checking Facebook, take a walk. Get away from the hustle and bustle of urban life and, for however brief a period, immerse yourself in nature. Take a deep breath and look around. This is what we are fighting for.

Read Wendell Berry’s poem, “The Peace of Wild Things.” Take a break “in the grace of the world.” Ground your activism in the earth.

4. Join with others. Developing a broad, mindful resistance movement is an exercise in community building.

Folks, if you aren't reading what the enemy...I mean the loyal opposition...is saying, expect to be blindsided on a regular basis.

You missed the subtle point here....

hILerry wandering in the woods is not whiny, odd or pouty... it was trend setting and demonstrated leadership.

Every time I try to digest what my enemy is consuming I throw up in my mouth a little.

Have you watched Captain Fantastic yet? Hilariously funny and parts filmed in Washington. It's fits this whole "find yourself in nature" mantra.

Then there is this bigoted hypocrisy coming from Seattle.

Seattle chef Renee Erickson's call for action on Inauguration Day

(Via KING 5)

"We're closing Bar Melusine, which is our restaurant on Capitol Hill, and we are going to invite friends and employees and people of our community to come together and try to raise money for the Anti-Defamation League," said Erickson. "We'll have no tv's on, we probably won't even talk about the inauguration."

The Anti-Defamation League is a national organization that works to fight hate and oppose discrimination.

I know where a deplorable like me will never spend a dime.
