    Maybe just stop looking at articles with Trump in the title

    That is my approach which is why I am advocating that others do the same. However, on a collective scale, the more energy we focus on complaining the less there is for focusing on other more important matters.

    When you encounter a bully in life you naturally learn to ignore them or avoid them to lessen your psychological harm from their tactics. So ignore the bully.

    if he becomes President again we’re all fucked

    Whether or not you click the article does not affect the outcome of the election, that is the purpose of voting.

          Bullies don’t learn by having free reign, they learn by having their nose fixed.

            That is one way they learn. But you can’t go around punching people in the adult world where often the bullies are your boss or some authority figure like a cop. In those cases you have to minimize how much you interact with physical and emotional boundaries. Trump essentially is a bully in the context of the news headlines and politics. He likes to belittle others.
