Stand up to the bullies. Call out the press for their pro maga capitulation to Trump straight to the anchors faces. Be respectful but only when being respected. Be willing to fight back hard, however, when disrespected and lied about. Unless you are willing to respect yourself enough to stand up strongly against those who try and belittle you, a number of people might interpret that as a weakness.

I will say again I support the Democratic party a 100 percent on policies and believe they have the best interests of the country at heart. I also believe the cult squad isn't qualified to clean out elephant dung in a zoo. As you said, it's the messaging where our leadership isn't carrying their weight.
