what would be the reverse maga?
i think that's the dems, no?
they've tried to run a clean campaign, not lie, not spout hate & violence towards opponents or marginalized groups.
they've focused on policy & the retaining of democratic institutions. they've tried to unify diverse groups.
the reverse of maga is being honest, maintaining some kind of moral compass, & focusing on policies & good governance.
b/c maga is the opposite of all those things, right?
or have i lost the plot?
I just saw a soi-disant "leftist" gloating over Trump's victory and explaining how everything was going to be just fine.

Automated filters and blocks can only get you so far. At some point, your brain has to be your filter:
Be choosy about which sites you visit. The ones which pump your adrenaline, that reward constant clicking and scrolling are probably not the best ones for you.
Don't think you have to click on everything. Not every opinion is worth viewing. The more it draws attention to itself, saying ATTENTION! and JUST ANNOUNCED! the more crap it will be.
Real wisdom in this, from people with experience dealing with tyranny. Starts with psychological strengthening, more than cheerleading or navel gazing.
