need to change the way we think of power. We need to be less concerned that others will judge us and accepting that not everyone will respond positively. That's part of the game now. For instance, it is still very powerful to use blunt language. Calling trump a liar is powerful. We still have many tools that we can use that do not involve anything immoral or dishonest. The truth is on our side and we need to embrace it fearlessly.
