We do not comply: how do we disrupt the momentum of Trump’s cruelty?
The Guardian ^ | 27 Jul, 2025 | V (formerly Eve Ensler)

Every day brings more devastation. But daily forms of rebellion can restore our sense of purpose.

The exterminating force of Project 2025 is plowing through the culture, the government and people’s hearts and bodies like a drunk on a violent tear. We wake each morning, holding our breath to bear witness to the new devastation: PBS and NPR defunded, cuts to the fight against human trafficking, Medicaid gone for millions, Ice working to surveil critics, tons of food for the poor ordered burned and wasted.

The momentum of cruelty always feels inevitable. Cruelty is by definition “a callous indifference to or pleasure in causing pain”. For those of us who have suffered physical, political, racial and emotional abuse, it feels like a familiar steamroller of violence. We only have to witness the cries of parents being separated from their children, men screaming out for “libertad” from cages in Everglades detention center (AKA Alligator Alcatraz), non-violent protesters beaten for trying to stop a genocide, to be frozen in that same incapacitating dread and fear.

What is the antidote to this destructive environment of mendacity possessing us now with fear, ennui and self-mutilating rage?

Ash-lee Woodard Henderson, a powerhouse activist and brilliant organizer, told me: “It’s not decided where we go yet. Which is why it feels tense. What we know is that there’s no going back to an old normal because our economic system has failed us and our governmental structure is being destroyed. They’re trying to replace what was with this minority rule of disgustingly wealthy humans dictating what can happen not only in this country, but globally.

“But daily forms of rebellion can restore our sense of purpose.”

I suggest a daily worldwide “Tantrum In”: leftists everywhere should all throw tantrums at the same time each morning, lying on their bellies while holding their breath and kicking their legs and feet up and down until, well, until they can’t hold their breath anymore ... that should make everything better, esp. if you’re a two-year old ...

The innate generosity of the American people can be amply demonstrated by providing the whiners with a free, one-way flight out of this country. When they reach the third-world destination of their choice, they will be free from “Trump’s cruelty”, but subject to the cruelty of their new hosts.

How? I recommend self-flagellation until you bleed out.

“disrupt the momentum of Trump’s cruelty”

The Guardian never disappoints. Run by clueless leftist children. Unreachable and irredeemable.

I never hear about “Project 2025” from anyone but leftist sources. Does it really exist somewhere outside their imaginations?

These nitwits who write this nonsense and align with the ideas need an intervention and rehab to get their brains properly functioning.

Trump is totally focused on revenge. If “revenge” means doing a far better than job as POTUS than anybody ever has.
