Many Democrats feeling too 'exhausted' to launch resistance movement for another Trump presidency: Report
Fox News ^ | November 8, 2024 | Gabriel Hays

Many anti-Trump liberal activists don’t know if they have it in them to keep up a resistance movement against President-elect Donald Trump for another four years, The New York Times reports.

The outlet spoke to multiple anti-Trumpers following Trump’s resounding re-election, who indicated they’re already finding it hard to get motivated to organize against the president-elect’s agenda, especially since he won more decisively this time than in 2016.

"So many of us are so exhausted. I don’t mean to be so bleak, but that’s how it feels today," Cynthia Shaw, a Democratic activist and poll worker from Detroit told the Times.

Many Democratic voters became vocal anti-Trump activists in the wake of his 2016 win, organizing rallies, marches, and stumping for liberal politicians to stymie the then-president’s first-term agenda.

One of the more prominent displays of massive anti-Trump resistance happened just after he was sworn in, in 2017, when several hundred thousand Americans donned pink hats and gathered in Washington, D.C., for the Women’s March.

The opposition movement continued unabated throughout Trump’s presidency, keeping the left energized and inflaming tensions throughout the country. However, The Times reported that the movement’s passion may be dwindling.

Communists are never exhausted. They just regroup, resupply and attack again.

Constantly building a larger house on a foundation of lies can be exhausting.

Maybe they should take a deep breath, admit to themselves that they were wrong, and live the remainder of their lives as normal, truth-seeking human beings.

Ha! I love that movie. “In this coming battle, we must be as hard as our tanks. The price of victory is never cheap.” Colonel Hessler. Of course, he burns to death in his tank at the end of the movie. Love Robert Shaw.

Agreed. Communists spend their lives being miserable and making everyone else’s life miserable. That won’t stop.

Why don’t the Lefties re-evaluate? Maybe they have some things wrong?

Trump is not Hitler. He’s not a Rabid Right Wing Zealot.
That is the truth.

To believe otherwise is delusional.

Maybe just chill, and enjoy 4 years of prosperity you tried to stop?

The biggest problem for the Democrats in Blue states is going to be their plans for a second round of Covid vaccines. Trump won’t let the CDC approve it. WA held off on the new round of shots, even withdrew the vaccine and told clinics not to dispense it until the new 2025 vaccine was available, but they were ready to put school kids back in masks and require shots. Trump being elected is going to throw a monkey wrench into that.

Reminds me of Roger Craig of the 49ers. His workouts were so strenuous that when the 4th quarter came around he was in much better condition than his opponents. They couldn’t keep up with them.

What do the democrats have? Gift of gab but only when an Obama or BJ comes along. Does Newsom have it? I say yes but people can tell he’s oily. The MSM won’t be able to cover for them anymore.

A RAT “resistance movement” is what the FBI calls an “insurrection” when Americans do it.
