Don’t play chess with pigeons. They’ll just shit on the board and declare they’ve won.

It’s going to take all of our collective strength to not get drawn into their toxic lies and BS. Arguing with them is an exercise in futility. Reserve your strength and focus on the positive. Sending positive vibes and strength.

Instead of casting spells on those who are immune, focus your powers and use your witchy word craft on emailing your state and federal representatives.

I’m going to say something different here. Don’t keep arguing with them, that makes no sense. But don’t hesitate to counter their shit once.
Conservatives thrive on thinking that they “dare to say what everyone believes” . They need constant reminders that this is not true. So it is beneficial to the world to tell call their bullshit.
So when you see them make a stupid statement, tell them how stupid it is and move on, never keep arguing because that is draining. -
You are an epic level 20 witch. You do not need to waste your your spell slots on level 1 orcs!

Fash gonna fash, ya know?

I know! It’s so hard! I want to do it too, but it just ends up stressing me out, and it just feels like it’s not worth it because they won’t listen anyways. It’s frustrating. I’m right there with you. *hugs*

You can’t stop bugs from being attracted to lights. Trying only produces more flashes, movement, and carbon which can attract more bugs.

Best thing I ever did to avoid arguing with conservatives (friends and family) was to delete Facebook. Don’t engage. You can never change their minds. Logic doesn’t work. They are driven by fear and emotion. 🤷🏼♀️

Because your own mental health is important. If and when we overcome it won’t be because we argued with people online but because we collectively focused our energy toward making change on a personal, familial, communal, and national level.

I’m struggling with this at the moment as well. I want to take the advice of everyone here, I know the energy is best spent on more positive things. But…it’s my godfather. And the closest thing I ever had to a father figure after mine died. I don’t want to lose that connection, and I don’t want this person I care about you drown in the hate they surround themselves with. Should I let him go?

I recently deleted facebook and twitter from my phone and blocked them in my browser on my laptop. About a month ago. After dealing with how addicted I was to them (not knowing what to do with myself without them), I discovered just how more peaceful my life can be. And how not knowing about nearly any ongoing events makes it seem like things are ok. Ignorance truly is a bliss, russia could nuke half of my country and I would be just happily drinking coffee and thinking about my dog.
I think the hardest part about commiting to such a decision was th realisation that no, I do not need to react to all the notifications and mentions and replys I was getting. I can just delete it all and I’m not missing out on any interactions, I’m not letting down any people I actually know and meet with, I can just ignore those soul sucking apps with anger-facilitated random human encounters.

Don’t do it. It’s beyond tempting but doesn’t help anything. We know what’s right. Save your energy for what’s coming. You’ll need it. That’s where you will really be needed.
Also remember, they’re not the majority. They’re only the majority on the court and they shouldn’t be there either. The majority of the judges who are making these rulings were put on by a “president” who couldn’t even win the popular vote, twice. Also, a lot of Republicans believe in abortion for at least some cases. I once took a very Republican woman to get an abortion. I regret that now.
We need to save our energy. The fight hasn’t even begun yet. Arguing online will just drain you. The patriarch is falling. Even a small win for them is useless if they don’t have majority support. Their heyday is long gone. What you’re witnessing is a last stand because of their hold on the Supreme Court. They’re no match for us, I promise you. The patriarch has never had to deal with adversity. They’re weak outside of their carefully built fragile ecosystem. We were made for this.

wasted breath & energy.. so I keep trying to remind myself to save the frustration of engaging. I feel you & wishing you strength.

Don’t argue with those fools. You’re draining your energy. You know what to do ✨🕯
