    The media keeps talking about how they’ve learned their lesson about how to report on Trump; that they’re not going to get spun up about all the noise he makes; that they’re not going to let him switch the story every week; that they’re going to focus on the real, material things that are going on.

    Well here we are again, writing deeply concerned pieces about a handful of tweets (or whatever they’re called in Trump land). And here Lemmy is upvoting them.

    Trump is a troll. Don’t feed the trolls.

      Trump also destroys things and people. He’s not just a troll.

      Though I agree that the media feeding fear and learned helplessness is part of the problem. The solution is to take the threat seriously and to organize to stop it by any means necessary.
