I think you guys are missing the boat here. There is massive change coming to this country - that is, IMO, a done deal. Stop trying to halt or even slow the change; a plurality of the American electorate just voted for it. The only real option at this point is to manage the change so that it does the least long-term harm. All this #resist stuff serves only to mitigate changes in the near term and does nothing about long term harm. That will be solved only by winning a plurality of voters back and rejecting the Trump movement. And that will only happen if they see real, near term harm from Trump policies.
So let all his batshit nominees through. Hold up the red cape, let the bull charge, and get out of the way. You voted for tariffs? Here they are, with all the economic impact. You held up “mass deportations now” sighs? You got ‘em, with all the videos you can stomach of people being thrown into camps. You like RFK? Ok, here’s a measles outbreak.
Far too much of the reaction to the incoming Trump administration feels like early WWI; people getting gassed and bombed and responding with a different formation for the mounted cavalry. There is no going back; there is no ‘normal’ to go back to.
