Advice of a Hungarian friend on how she survives Orban:

1) Read the news once a week, on a day when you're on an even keel.

2) Stick to your people and "tune out" when you're in environments with his supporters (e.g. on public transportation, turn on your music).

3) Focus on daily life, and maybe local things that you have control over and can change...

She told me that this was the way for me to survive Trump with my soul and my happiness intact.

I think I'm going to follow that advice, and focus on my freelance writing and my local unionization efforts.
