Cursing or Binding Trump

By the way ladies and gents, I am back!

So this is a hot topic going on right now that a large group of witches are planning to bind (to restrain him from hurting others or himself) or curse (to actually hurt him) Trump. The reason because well, he is a tool, but because he is hurting so many communities and is already creating religious persecution towards Muslims so why would he stop there? We know witches have always had a red latter tagged on us for hundreds of years.
The idea is to all participate this and throw this energy at him all at the same time, the theory being the more energy at one time will make it more effective. Which makes sense to me. The question is, is it the right option?
Now, I am someone who tends to like doing the mundane options first because generally you can see tangible results from that rather then magical right off the bat. For example: groups of people trying to pass things to make impeachment possible, getting your local politicians involved to push for investigations for clear law breaking by the presidents, protesting, and so on. These are tangible mundane things people can choose to do first and can see quick results usually. If those don't work, I can see that the magical way of doing things can boost the mundane or support it, or if you have run out of ideas of the mundane option, this is the better option.
The thing I worry about most is that are we just feeding into the controversy by being so blatant about this? There is already a following of a large christian group planning on countering the witches by praying against them. This just brings me back to Salem witch trials and the idea that witches are frightening and threatening.
Putting groups of people against each other is never healthy and this is exactly what Trump wants, separation, not a coming together as one. We are one United States of America but we are completely stripped from having those connections that bring us together. Remember 9/11? We all came together even those against the war. This is like the complete opposite of that. It is incredibly sad.
Do I think this is the correct option? No. Would I stop anyone from participating? Definitely not, it is their choice. But be mindful of the bigger picture. Are we making a bad situation better, or are we exacerbating it and falling into the holes people like Trump have dug for us waiting for us to trip and fall into it?
Be mindful. That is your exercise this week.
