Anyway, I find that people who think in terms of elections and messaging and "wins" end up missing the forest for the trees. Politics is not a rational enterprise because people are not rational.

And sometimes you can see the wind-up, like that gleam in the eyes as your abuser rears back to hit you. And you know it's going to hurt. And you know crying won't help. And you know no one is going to stop them.

So what do you do?

You get hit.

You try to survive it.

Until they die or you do.
