This may not go down well but here goes. Is there an element of this crock of shite who is
1 continuing several Obama policies
2 doing some of what Nixon and Reagan did in the 1970s and 80s
3 being apparently chaotic but really strategic
4 transfixing us with his petulance and evil fixers
5 dominating us with his media obsession
6 but some of this horror is that it is just in our faces 24/7 except for if you get up really early to avoid the first stream of twitter hate?
In 1984 Winston Smith was not allowed to switch off his spy screen thing in his room and you weren't allowed to miss the 2 minutes of hate every day.
I wonder if,like Obama with his deliberate, thoughtful ways, we could take back control, by thinking through strategic responses .
I wonder if responding to twitter goading and policy goading, which seems to be his style, could be more nuanced or even absent, biding time to have a more powerful strategic response. He's like an evil pantomime villain, and he and Conway and Spicer seem to be choreographing responses too. This administration is so evil that it brings an almost reflux reaction, and that too is deliberately set up.
This article in WP, which I think is real gives thoughts on what worked and didn't work in Uraguay.

Building bridges with the so called enemy seemed to be key.
On the other hand, run for the hills!
