Maybe you are, but the media tends to only hold on to a few things at a time. He wants to make it his stupid things like "Gulf of America" instead of "Gulf of Mexico" take up that spot. Not his insane pick for departments, not his plans for cutting social security, etc.
Authoritarian leaders do this all the time. They'll even use it to hide their actual expansionist plans. They'll threaten all kinds of people that they have no real intention of doing anything to so that actual military movments are drowned out as just noise
We have to be much more strategic about when we raise hell otherwise you'll appear to be the boy who cried wolf and won't be taken seriously. We can't be at defcon 1 at all times or it loses all meaning
This might be hard for you to hear, but you can't control what other people focus on and your strategy is stupid and bad.
Nothing will stop people from disregarding the people who raise hell. Raise hell anyway.
