Although the Trump administration blames "the democrats" for every disagreement, its far more than just democrats who are against Trumps administration, because of his dishonest and hateful and inconsiderate behaviors. One of the latest episodes of this was Trump's extreme dishonesty about Renee Nicole Good - the woman who was killed in Minneapolis, which made a VERY difficult situation, for BOTH sides, far worse.
Although many of us are upset about his destructive ways, and that of those who follow his lead, we must keep the PEACE that they have been destroying. We should not accept or normalize their dysfunctional behaviors, but we can reject them and stand strong against them in ways that are PEACEFUL - in ways that do not strike back physically or with profanity and demeaning words - we can refrain from stooping to their level, and do our best to remain in our HEARTS, no matter what they do. And we can do our best to be here for each other through these dark times - we can do all that we can to hug and help the people who are being hurt by Trumps hateful war against the democrats, the poor people and harmless immigrant people...etc. We can spread LOVE instead of returning the hate. We can compensate for the damage they have done and KINDLY demand to be treated better.
A good example of this; At the worst of times, like the Ice shooting in Minneapolis, we can choose to hug and help the people who were hurt, instead of angrily swearing and throwing things at the Ice agents. And then we can PEACEFULLY protest and send messages to the involved officials, which in this case, would be asking for things like honesty and more fairness and more consideration for the victims and a full objective investigation, which is what Trump and Neom and Vance should have done from the start.
I understand the anger. I felt a lot of it myself in this situation and many others. Over and over again I have been shocked by Trump's dysfunctional and destructive behaviors. But we can vent it without being abusive back - we can go home and do things like punch a pillow and scream it out...anything that does not hurt other people or their property.
Remember that striking back merely gives the bullies justification for their abuse. Its up to us to UN-justify it - to not strike back. Then they have no valid excuse. Sure, they may lie again, but we know the truth and we can strive to elect people who can care to honor things like truth and kindness and consideration for all people. And until we have these things in our leaders, we can compensate by giving even more of them to each other.
