So far, for most of us at least, the Trump putsch has been something to lament from a distance. Other people are losing their jobs. Other people are being removed from the country. Other people are suffering hunger and hardship in the world.
That cannot last. Expect infringements to hit closer to home.
Yesterday's protests in Washington D.C. meant something, but because we live in such a rapid-fire world in which Trump is still president the following day, we tend to discount the value of organized protest. Don't.
There needs to be more. Maybe it takes the form of constant social media bombardment of the Fuhrer's Triangle(Trump, Musk, and Vance) or the Trio of Incoherence (Hegseth, Kennedy, and Bondi). Or...how about rolling blackouts of Trump money grubbers?
Sunday: No Washington Post—avoid their online presence also. No presidential endorsement, and another cowardly act yesterday.
Monday: No Google. Try a different browser, maybe Opera—easy, good design, nice layout.
Tuesday: No Amazon. This will be tough. Prime on TV is also verboten. That thing you want to be overnighted—can you wait a couple of days and just go to the manufacturer's website? Call it Smaller-Business Tuesday.
Wednesday: No Apple. Got an iPhone? Use it only for phone calls, or at least avoid Safari and Apple Maps. Wear your "There ain't no Gulf of America" hat. It's not red.
Thursday: No Facebook. (If you're reading this on Thursday, shut down immediately. Hurry!
Friday: dress-down day. You pick the Trump crony you're most disgusted with, but not X. X is for every day, but especially...
Saturday: X. If you need an explanation, you haven't been paying attention. So do some reading. Find a conservative source (not MAGA) and read what real conservatives think. You might be surprised to learn how conservative you reallyare, and how far off the grid the MAGA crowd really is. Google if you must—Monday's coming.
Yes, there's no day of rest. Get over it. You had four years to prepare.
