I acknowledge we're all upset at what is happening, but it is of utmost importance to clarify who we are upset with. We are not upset with Americans, we're upset with their Administration.

Yes, the MAGAts were 'elected', however foreign interference in another country's elections is a real thing, and should be factored in, if & when conducting a post-mortem on US democracy.

Avoid ad hominem attacks. Separate the person from the deed. Do not attack their physical features (i.e. ugly, skinny) but their actions and words. Articulate whom your target is, and what it is you actually hate.

As an example, I hate unchecked authoritarianism and rampant racism. I am upset with the people who carry out the orders of I.C.E. I am upset that Canadian companies are supporting the regime's efforts. 

It is only with the strength and support of the American people that the USA has any chance of coming out of this coup.

Worship

Stop worshipping people you've never even met.
