Lesson 18 from "On Tyranny": Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. It is the oldest trick in their book. Do not fall for it.

No, it doesn't mean "do nothing". The "don't panic" is, in most cases, more like an appeal for ppl to use common sense action. Some ppl are prone to lose their head & their actions, at times, are worse than the thread!

Your tweet is a false equivalency. Trying to get a bipartisan bill for sensible gun legislation is not the same as an authoritarian figure exploiting an event with lies. I suggest you read “On Tyranny”. Unfortunately, too many things are happening that he feared.
