Through his EOs, Trump is using shock and awe to overwhelm the resolve of progressives and liberals.

But saying “don’t get distracted by what he says” isn’t enough. Saying “he’s trying to bring attention to himself” isn’t enough.

Ask yourself: why are his press conferences and media events being covered on live TV? Why are his EO signatures being covered? Why are he and his sycophants being interviewed on live TV?

If Hannah Arendt is right about how authoritarians use big lies and media events to draw attention to themselves and issue “declarations of intent”, why not “starve the beast” of that attention?

Get in the way of the most accessible news media when Trump is sucking up attention. Suck that attention right back in your direction. Hold more press conferences. Hold more media events. Hold more marches. Issue more lawsuits. Compete for that attention. Do it in the places and times which most matter.

Get. In. The. Way.
