A couple thoughts:
- What would Mr Rogers do is terrific. He was calm and patient, but worked tirelessly to make life better for who he could.
- I've substituted "fuck this asshole" with - "I'm going to focus on outliving this asshole and having more impact on the world."
Also, let's not forget that a lot of this is in response to the United States having it's first black president, and in that context...the people mobilized by it...they're pathetic and pitiable. They're still harmful! But like mosquitoes, ticks and leaches.
They need to be countered, and we can all do our best to do our part. Those who can, should learn just enough about them to isolate, counter, and clean up after them.
But other than useful tips for containment, all we need to know about them is that they are small, sad and disgusting.
