The Only Reasonable Response
Repeat after me: ‘Fuck you.’ How to direct your grief away from each other and toward the perpetrators of fascism
***Please take out a membership to support the light of truth.***
The only reasonable response to anything Trump says and does is ‘Fuck you.’
The only real tactical tool that could be effective is a resonating choir of 350 million American voices singing ‘Fuck you.’
Pithy enough for MAGA, who likes slogans and is waking up during the epilogue.
The important piece of this is that fascists rely on predictable responses — their simplistic, mechanistic models of our psychology. So give them no psychology. Just say, ‘Fuck you.’
The Governor of Maine, who is standing in the breach in defense of trans youth, said this in her own classic American legalese when she told Trump she’d ‘see him in court.’ But the message was ‘Fuck you.’
This tactic can be directed at every member of the New Fascist Regime and anyone promoting the regime’s lies.
Elon Musk the Russian Bot should be the recipient of heartfelt ‘Fuck yous’ whenever he utters his latest barrage of Tripping Balls Horseshit.
Trump, Musk, and Putin are thin-skinned weaklings, terrified of raw public opinion — they target truth to suppress the raising of mass social consciousness, which can topple their brittle facades. They need predictable outcomes and full control.
We don’t need a civil war, we need them to melt down.
They are pushing us toward an engineered war against each other.
Don’t go to war with each other. Instead, unite with a chorus of ‘Fuck yous’ directed at their every utterance, their every lie, their every lying puppet.
Do you remember the last time you should said, ‘Fuck you’ to a bully? Do you remember that wellspring of courage? Do you recall your fear receding?
Have the courage to redirect your visceral anger and just repeat the mantra ‘Fuck you.’
They deserve nothing more.
