There is no amount of compliance that will make an abuser stop. It’s a them problem, not an us problem. Defend yourself, and what’s right.

The idea we should behave in such a way that the Trumpists will not portray us as dangerous/ lawless/ violent is a silly idea, because they always portray us that way and no amount of curtseys and rolling over and playing dead will change that. So people might as well speak up and stand strong.
