Those tips are nice for a few, or those who are or who imagine themselves to be fairly well insulated from horrors to come, and need only focus on their own personal emotional state.
Sorry, but I find that diary to be absolutely disgusting. I know this is going to be unpopular. People want to be reassured, people are stressed out, people want to feel good, people don't want to feel helpless.
Imagine you are in one of the fascist countries in Europe in the 30's and you read these "tips for survival." It is not bad for sane people to try to work with Mussolini? Really? Don’t catastrophize about the Nazi regime? Seriously?
So, as I read those tips:
1. Look out for yourself
2. Normalize Trump and MAGA
3. Compromise with the Republicans
4. Let others stand up to Trump
5. Ignore Trump's threats
6. Be in complete denial about the crisis
7. Choose what to read/watch about (as opposed to what?)
8. Choose kindness, that always stops fascism
9. Choose joy, and live in a fantasy world
10. Celebrate victories, and ignore that we are losing everything
11. Remind yourself that they are idiots with a thin majority, that will help you be in denial.
12. Work Work Work for 2026 and 2028, because that has worked so well so far
