First principles of non-violence: 1) Self-purification precedes political action. 2) The end is inherent in the means. 3) Even psychological violence blocks miracles. Say it however but the point is this: Democrats hating on other Democrats will help re-elect Trump #repairamerica

Trump’s power derives from his power to divide; our power to override that lies in our power to unite. Argue? Yes. Make our points abundantly clear? Yes. But threaten that if the nominee isn’t our chosen candidate then we won’t vote blue? That’s a sure way to guarantee he wins.

Personally I think all of us being angry at Trump has given him his power. Keeping him in our thoughts, in our news, in our business. We should never have given him so much air time. If we stop talking and thinking about him maybe he'd just dry up and blow away.

And would we say that about Stage 1 cancer? That if we just ignore it it will go away? Some things expand BECAUSE we ignore them. To ignore totalitarianism is to feed it. And he’s president of the United States: “not giving him air time” is not an option.

ignore might not have been the right word. I think we should not be thinking thoughts that give him power. Meaning if we stoop to his level of thought in hating him we are giving him power. Ignoring the hate is what I should have said. Because we can't let him continue to harm.
