🐍 I Knew He Was a Snake

A Trauma-Informed Guide to President Trump’s Projection

💥 Why This Guide Exists

I spent my childhood trying to wriggle out of the tight grip of one of the snakes he talks so enthusiastically about.

The snake’s trick is that at first, you mistake the grip for an embrace.

And then it tightens—just a little at a time—until you can’t move, can’t speak—

and worse, you start to believe this is freedom.

In my case, there was a very small voice deep inside me—quiet, but steady.

Like in The Dark Knight Rises, it kept whispering:

“Rise. Rise. Rise.”

Listen for that voice, brothers and sisters.

And Rise.

Because what we’re watching now isn’t just politics—it’s personal.

What’s happening in this country is triggering for a reason.

President Trump is back in office, and for many of us who’ve fought to heal from psychological abuse, something feels eerily familiar. That feeling in your gut? That sense that the story is shifting and the ground is giving way? It’s not in your head.

This isn’t just about policy.

It’s about projection.
