"Don't use his name."
That's the first bit of advice given in a viral Facebook post listing 11 tips on how to resist the new president.
SEE ALSO:One hashtag is uniting Americans in the fight against TrumpIt has a hopeful, positive tone, advising people to challenge Donald Trump as peacefully as possible, enlisting a powerful John Lennon quote to get the point across: "When it gets down to using violence, then you are playing the system's game."
On Wednesday, the mysterious post -- which has no publicly identified author (yet) --got a major boost from Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King.
King gave her own spin on the widely circulated list on her own Facebook page. Instead of avoiding Donald Trump's name completely, people should say it "sparingly so as not to detract from the issues." Her post (which she also tweeted) gives a nuanced take on the list, addressing a wide range of issues (immigration, education, women's rights, etc.) important to Trump opponents.
In the very first tip, King elaborates on why people should stray from saying Trump's name too often.
"While we are so focused on him, we are prone to neglect the questionable policies that threaten freedom, justice and fairness advanced by the administration," she wrote.
King has long been a strong opponent of Trump. On the federal holiday honoring her father's role as a civil rights leader, she spoke to an audience at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where her father once preached, and gave a riveting speech about holding onto hope.
"Don't be afraid of who sits in the White House," she told church-goers, reportedly to a standing ovation. "God can triumph over Trump."
