ECM - although my wife and I (and many friends) listen to your YouTube show every day and are Patreon subscribers, we are so happy you are writing here as well and we were thrilled to support your Substack. Everything you write is helpful, none of it wasted. Thank you for taking that time, despite all that you do every single day. ❤️
1. GRIEVE THE LOSS of what used to be the Democratic Party. The DNC abandoned working class values and manipulated you into covering for them and their candidates. Even Bernie is pissed!
2. UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAPPENED. Not only did Trump win on delivering the message that resonated most with working class Americans, but Kamala completely failed at the same task. Regular people care about public safety, the economy, no more wars. Regular people are sick of the woke shit and cancel culture.
3. LEARN TO INTROSPECT. I promise you that half the country is not racist, misogynistic, narcissistic, sociopathic, or fascist. Maybe you are the one missing a piece of the puzzle here. I can easily steelman a Democrat’s point of view— can you do the same for a non-RINO new MAGA Republican?
4. RESPECT OTHERS’ BOUNDARIES. Such as not wanting to continue taking a vaccine without good risks vs benefits evidence. Such as my right to free speech and your right to disagree with it. Such as not wanting transgenderism ideology introduced to my child. Such as wanting my daughter to experience athletic competition on a level playing field as established by Title IX. Such as me wanting to walk down the street of my city and not be exposed to human feces, rampant drug addiction, and harassment.
5. LISTEN TO ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF MEDIA. Glenn Greenwald. 2Way with Mark Halperin. Breaking Points. Dave Smith. Scott Jennings. And yes, Joe Rogan, Tim Dillon, Theo Vaughn, Flagrant— you might even laugh! Point is… the mainstream media just manipulated the shit out of you! They made you think Kamala was going to flip Iowa for goodness sake. ECM believed FL was flipping! How could you ever trust anything they say ever again?
6. BUILD COMMUNITY. Yes, but you don’t have to be divisive when doing good. Help your elderly neighbors or volunteer at a senior center. Do a community clean up project. Support your local artists.
7. DISRUPTION IS COMING. This Trump administration is already different. He has amassed a base focused on protecting the first amendment, ensuring public safety, getting us out of foreign conflicts, reducing government waste and spending, making Americans healthy again. Believe it or not, this coalition wants these things for all Americans. Restoring American pride & patriotism is the way we will continue to be a beacon of democracy for the rest of the world.
8. BE HEALTHY. Get off social media. Go outside. Exercise. Eat less. Drink less. Eat whole foods. Laugh.
9. PLOT YOUR JOY. The other side doesn’t want you to be unhappy. The new MAGA Republican Party is based on libertarian ideals. They promote individual freedoms and support alternate lifestyles— so long as others’ individual rights are not infringed upon. Love who you love. Dress how you want to dress. Just respect the Bill of Rights, leave the kids out of it, and don’t make grammatical nonsense of our shared language.

Thanks for being here Karen!
You're such a unique amazingly strong Lady ECM Thank You
Great list. I like taking the Disruption tactic and using it against them. We ARE 70 million strong. Only our own apathy and withdrawal can defeat us.
Plus, we have the smart, resourceful and aware 70 million. We can do this!
