What happened to resist Trump?


In the first few weeks of Donald Trump’s second state, two moments have emerged to resume a kind of “resistance” optimism. One of them was the sermon of bishop Marianne Bod, in the National Cathedral in Washington, called for Trump to “mercy” for immigrants and gay children-a sermon she provided with Trump and Vice President of JD Vance in the front row. The other was to defend the actor Brad Sherman Fema– A federal agency that Trump suggested that it may be closed – at a round -cable table with other California leaders and Trump. Sherman said about the recent fires in Los Angeles. [FEMA’s] She was able to do it. “The statements of both Budde and Sherman sought to persuade the president to search for the past for his policies in revenge and embrace the main principles of liberal democracy – pluralism and rational thinking, in this case – when the country that was elected to his leadership rules. Comedian Dave Chapel echoed these feelings in Saturday” Night Live “recently, and he sends Trump to” sympathize with the displaced, whether they are in Palisades or Palestine. “

In 2025, it takes an impressive amount of mental gymnastics to believe that Trump would be interested in sympathy. After Budde’s sermon, the president posted on Truth Social that the bishop was “bad in tone, not convincing or smart”, in addition to being “not good at her job!” (Mike Collins, a member of the Republican Congress and Internet Funance, wrote on X that Budde, born in New Jersey, should be “added to the deportation list”.) Sherman, on the other hand, was immediately distorted. “It was not over much FemaTrump said, I interrupted him. “If you can put a genius for you to work on a permit, you will be much better than some other things that you said, well?”

Amid “shock and awe” from Trump’s return to the White House, Buddhist and Sherman’s offers felt a small and foldable resistance, barely great enough to accommodate hope. If Trump’s first presidency is distinguished by the wide revolution, his second term has been determined so far due to the lack of a split. The next day to clarify Trump’s first, in 2017, about half a million Washington, DC, was immersed in protest, wearing the pink drive hats and chanting, “This is what democracy looks!” Millions of demonstrators, from Ronok, Virginia, joined Auckland, New Zealand, to the global march of women, and defended the messages of equality and teamwork. But come to 2025, in one day, it was necessary to move the cold Trump installation inward, and this crisis in the crisis was not available. How did democracy seem again? The outgoing president, Joe Biden, after years of warning of Trump’s dangerous conspiracies and distorted diseases, received the heat of the forty -seventh president over the steps of the White House. “Welcome at home,” he said.

In 2016, Trump Hillary Clinton’s electoral college was defeated as if it could be removed as a deviation. Regardless of the loss of popular voting by about three million votes, Trump’s victory was young at comic levels of scandal. There were allegations of Russian interference. Hillary Clinton’s emails on news coverage, to become an obsession with pets from the right. Conservative imagination, including “pizzagate”, has evolved into imaginative facts. The creation of a cultural and political resistance to the Trump administration has become an urgent importance. The funding of groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the planned family increased during the first period of Trump. The airport protests are born on the Muslim ban on the president’s momentum and a set of legal challenges. Celebrities from Rihanna to Jessica Chastain published Trump’s social media outputs, and the resistance decrees were struck in letters of accepting performances and awards late at night. The #Metoo movement arose, unreasonable, early in this era; After the killing of George Floyd, in 2020, Black Lives Matter protested the country. The disturbances and civil responsibility were in the air, and the collective belief that the public members could challenge injustice wherever it appeared, and win. When Trump nominated to re -select, his defeat became an existential necessity for Democrats. If it loses, the United States can reshape itself around progressive neoliberalism that has dominated American policy since the seventies of the seventies, or so logic went, then begins to engage in more progressive ideas, in time. First, the country had to return to the foundation.

This magic thinking helps to clarify the reason for the Democratic Party’s exposure to a wave of enthusiasm during the first period of Trump. Senator Korea Booker, Kamala Harris, and Chris Murphy became the names of Mike in Mike in the sessions of the Senate confirmation of the potential cabinet members and the Supreme Court judges and during investigations into interference in the Russian elections. The alliance between the liberals, the leftists and the middle has been strengthened-there will be a comprehensive approach to the surface to defeat Trump. Its presidency will definitely be dangerous, but at least the United States still has a strong system of checks and balances to reduce the executive authority and eliminate bad actors from their worst act. In 2018, Democrats regained control of the House of Representatives during the midterm elections, and the call to isolate Trump became less symbolic. When the campaign began in the democratic presidential preliminary elections in 2019, dozens of competitors declared their nomination. Discussions had to be divided into two nights, to give everyone a fair vibration. Voters can choose between the democratic-social platform in Bernie Sanders, the Obama era, Joy Biden, or the crime charisma in Kamala Harris, Betty Boutjj, or billionaire in Michael Bloomberg. If there is anything, these options indicate a strong diversity within the Democratic Party, which can be understood technically, as necessary for the health of democracy.

Although Joe Biden’s defeat on Donald Trump in the 2020 elections was initially a referendum on the success of the resistance – “I promise you”, Tweet Biden days before his victory, “I will end the chaos of Donald Trump and end this crisis” – it now seems to be an introduction Historically, the resistance is exposed as a largely ineffective endeavor. Trump expanded his popular vote in both elections after 2016, despite raining an increasingly anti -division platform. Once, the antiquities eventually led to a set of failures: Robert Muller’s private lawyer could create a manufactured collusion between the Trump 2016 campaign and the Russian government; Brett Cavano was confirmed to the Supreme Court despite the wide opposition of Democrats; Trump’s worlds have led to the largest possible number of proteins in the Senate. Greatly, general rejection Maga She also faded, with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Snooop Dogg support Trump’s reformulation. In 2017, designers, including Mark Jacobs and Sufi Thieltet, rejected the wearing of the first lady Melania Trump; In 2025, there were no equivalent ads. Fox News continues to boast about many of the country’s highest -class newspapers. Joe Rogan, a host of one of the most popular podcasts in the world, has moved from Trump as a “existential threat to democracy” until he became a symbol MagaAlways, with his display now a haven for centenary ideology and technology executives, and even Trump himself.

Rogan’s descent to extremist right -wing policy is useful for understanding the decreasing cultural resistance of Trump. UFC comic commentator and commentator once coincided with an anti-institution-Sanders’ support for the president in 2020-but now he presents himself as penetrating the lies of the deep democratic state. Soon his idiot interest in foreign conspiracy and the lunar landing led to his identity everywhere: immigrants deviated from blue to red countries to swing in voters for the benefit of Democrats; Eating a diet only can treat arthritis. The care granted to children transformed immoral in Dr. Frankstein was a type of road. His factors with DMT drugs and its experiences with comprehensive treatment methods have joined an anti -aggressive speech and actual scientific suspicion. The Democrats, as he sees it, hide their deception with a self -program while Trump tells him as is the case, as the network of lies that Rogan suddenly saw in everything.

Rogan was not alone in traveling from progressive to tramp. In the recent appearance of podcasts, Alexandria actress Okasio Cortez explained the reason for the vote of some of the residents of the New York City area in her favor. and Trump in the last elections: “They see two people who are mainly hostile to the institution, two people do not respect a rule if the base does not lead to a result.” Perhaps Trump’s 2016 electoral victory seemed to be a coincidence, but it was re -formulated eight years later it was a final rejection of the policy of the Foundation. While Democrats cling to standards and bases, bureaucratic processes and etiquette of the ancient world, the Republican Party, now inhabited by Trump by Crohn Trump and loyalists, encourages the vision of the non -legitimate government or due legal procedures. In the weeks before the elections, former President Barack Obama gave moral speeches and philosophical theses on behalf of the Harris Walz campaign, his sermons indicate that politics is still in a social atmosphere of meditation and discussion. Meanwhile, Trump stormed the stages of his gathering with certainty from the savior, and the world imagined that he is a war -torn hell that he could only repair.
