The Trump years so far have been hard on all of us. An unending tsunami of bad news has resulted in many left-of-center types casting about for the answer to this seemingly never-ending political nightmare.
One place where this desperation is most acutely felt is in the self-styled "Resistance," a collection of liberal activists typically from the Obama and Clinton coalitions who have banded together to push back against the Trump agenda, mostly on Twitter. But in that collection of people are a number of desperate individuals who only want the Trump administration to end so they can seize power. Sensing weakness, these grifters have taken advantage of that desperation and are profiting off of liberal misery and hope. This group includes everyone from laughable con artists to social-media conspiracy theorists to conservatives on the reinvention circuit. Here are the ones to know.
10. ERIC GARLAND, LOUISE MENSCH, AND SETH ABRAMSON (180,000, 277,000, AND 526,000 FOLLOWERS, RESPECTIVELY) This trio would have taken the top three spots on this list less than a year ago. My, how things have changed. It's a testament to the mainstreaming of their grift that three of the originators of the #Regriftance — and the loudest conspiracy theorists to experience mainstream accreditation in the Trump era — have now largely become parodies of themselves.

MALCOLM NANCE (456,000 FOLLOWERS)
A intelligence and foreign policy analyst for MSNBC, Malcolm Nance has successfully used his military background (he was a Navy petty officer specializing in cryptology until 2001) over the past two decades to build a career in which people take him seriously on matters of national security. In the beginning, this was based on his analysis of the Iraq War and Al Qaeda; lately, however, Nance has restyled himself as an authority on Russia.
Of all MSNBC’s guests, Nance is given the longest leash — he regularly spouts off conspiracy theories that are factually and historically flawed, yet the network’s hosts never push back in any way and instead nod along with each of Nance’s ever-more ludicrous pronouncements.
Nance has seemingly detached from reality since he realized he could say just about anything about Russia and MSNBC would keep booking him. He recently accused journalist Glenn Greenwald of being a Russian spy and told this reporter he was racist for including Nance in a tweet that was the precursor to this article.
Mensch is a nutcase. Certifiable.
At least their followers are semi-educated. The poverty pimps have my scorn as grifters. Think the ‘Justice’ brothers-Sharpton, Jesse Jackson..

This was apparently written before Avenatti fell afoul of Nike, various clients, and the law in general.
WE are the resistance; the resistance to Deep State.
At least their followers are semi-educated.
Educated in what?
