One of the most healthy practices you can do is to fully experience negative emotion, let it wash over you and fully occupy you, then breathe deeply and let that emotion go. Holding on to negative emotion has long term health consequences. Remember that you have no control over the world, just your own reactions to the world. I have a lot of anger that I try to let go of this way. Life has become a long series of just being shit on by everyone and everything. But what can I really do about it? Keep working and moving up the ladder to where the shit sandwiches have more bread I guess. In the meantime, I try to practice mindfulness with my emotions and breathe through them. You can use the Dune Litany Against Fear with pretty much any negative emotion.
There is no point responding to right wing idiots; all of their speech is logical fallacy and bad faith rhetoric. They’re best ignored, or talked over. They can’t be bothered to respond to anyone, they just spout their own bullshit, no matter what anyone else says, so we as a society need to refuse to debate them or address them directly. Whatever they say just respond with another fact that refutes their entire existence
