As a person of Polish heritage with a deep appreciation of the bravery and heroics of the Polish Home Army and associated groups during WW2 it’s been irritating to watch the American Left pick up the term “Resistance” and take it as their own.
Real resistance has a cost. Real resistance is, by definition, an act of desperation by a conquered people. Keith Olbermann ranting on cable TV is not resistance. SIRUS-XM’s “Progress” rebranding itself “Home of the Resistance” is merely pathetic LARPing.
For all the fake-fear that the Left claims to feel since Trump won a year ago, the Left still retains control of the levers of power in our society: the news media, the academy, the cultural apparatus of Hollywood and music, the judiciary and most importantly the Deep State. To claim to be a resistance while actually controlling the commanding heights of society is false and pathetic.
The Deep State has, from day one, felt they could void the troubling election results and remove Trump using extra-electoral processes. And thus was born the narrative of Trump’s “Russian collusion”, the “stolen election”, “Russian hacking” and other assorted Leftist propaganda memes.
The Deep State actors have been churning away for a year, and it now appears likely that sometime in the not-too-distant future we will find that Trump is being impeached, or indicted, or both. A drowning chorus of fake-resisters will lecture us incessantly about the need to remove Trump immediately.
The so-called Resistance are in fact the exact opposite, they are simply the useful idiots of the Deep State. The Olbermann Korps bear more resemblance to the Government of Poland in the era of Soviet Occupation. Headed by quislings, and utterly unconcerned with the people of the land, instead serving an alien agenda.

Voltage divided by current?
That’s me!
Our “Resistance” will overstep its bounds, probably in the near future.
They do not even think they know what pain will be.
Resistance - a song by Muse that sums it up perfectly.
Yup, the establishment cannot be the resistance.
Great minds....
Unfortunately, many weak minds believe that Trump is the establishment, because that is what they have been told. Or, failing that, any American tradition is the establishment. And, further, that the world and the country will be a better place if both are destroyed.
As the Greeks said, "Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad."
The rabid left have made a profession out of weaponizing words and phrases for their own ends.
Good post. A resistance movement against oppression requires heroic effort and imposes severe costs. On my father’s side, in the 1980s, a great uncle in Poland was apparently beaten to death by the communist secret police because he was a courier for Rural Solidarity. That is the kind of sacrifice that participation in a genuine resistance movement can entail. The Left’s phony claims of being part of a resistance movement manifest not just narcissism and preening but delusional personality traits.
Russian collusion - a fictional event that the lame stream media invented because they refused to believe that Hillary’s promise of continuing the Obama dictatorship wasn’t welcomed by the people of the US.

Resistance To Tyranny is an excellent book. I keep my copy on my coffee table so guests can peruse it.
