The New Administration’s Exhaustion Strategy: Why You Shouldn’t Take the Bait

The new administration isn’t just a political operation—it’s a spectacle. And like any good spectacle, it’s designed to overwhelm, distract, and exhaust. From the relentless barrage of tweets to the constant media frenzies, the strategy is clear: keep people so inundated with noise that they either tune out entirely or become too fatigued to push back effectively. But here’s the thing: we don’t have to play along.

Let’s be honest—this administration thrives on chaos. Every tweet, every post on social media, every inflammatory statement is carefully crafted to dominate the news cycle, provoke outrage, and keep us hooked. It’s not governance; it’s performance art. And like a professional wrestler’s scripted antics, it’s meant to agitate, entertain, and distract. But while the theatrics may be entertaining, they’re also exhausting—and that’s the point.

The danger isn’t just in the content of what’s being said; it’s in the sheer volume of it. When we’re constantly bombarded with every twist and turn, every petty feud, and every hyperbolic statement, it becomes impossible to focus on the bigger picture. We get so caught up in the noise that we lose sight of the larger patterns and policies that actually matter. And that’s exactly what they want.

So, here’s a radical idea: stop paying attention to every little thing. You don’t need to follow every tweet, every post, or every headline. In fact, doing so only plays into their hands. Instead, focus on the broader trends and policies that will have real, lasting impacts. Pay attention to the administration’s actions, not just their words. Look at the legislation they support, the appointments they make, and the decisions they enact. These are the things that will shape our future—not the latest social media feud.

This isn’t about disengaging or giving up. It’s about being strategic. By refusing to get sucked into the daily drama, we can conserve our energy for the fights that truly matter. We can stay informed without being overwhelmed, and we can hold this administration accountable without letting them dictate the terms of the conversation.

The truth is, a lot of what we see and hear from this administration is noise—deliberately designed to keep us agitated and distracted. But we don’t have to take the bait. By tuning out the noise and focusing on the signal, we can reclaim our attention, our energy, and our power.

So, the next time you feel the urge to dive into the latest Twitter storm or dissect every word of a social media post, take a step back. Ask yourself: is this really important, or is it just noise? Because in the end, the best way to resist an administration built on exhaustion is to refuse to be exhausted.

Let’s not let them wear us down. Let’s stay focused, stay informed, and stay strong. The spectacle may be loud, but our resolve can be louder.
