…As Mr. Trump returns to the White House on Monday with a popular vote victory and a governing trifecta in Washington, there are few signs of the sort of mass public protest that birthed “the resistance” the last time he took office.
…
… some concede that the opposition is more uncertain than it once was. Congressional Democrats and governors now openly debate the wisdom of locking arms against Mr. Trump’s agenda, as they eventually did during his first presidency. And Democrats still now bear scars from last year’s conflicts over Israel’s invasions of Gaza and Lebanon, their embrace of identity politics and President Biden’s aborted candidacy.
In 2017, “everything felt bigger, more important,” said Krista Suh, a screenwriter in Los Angeles. When the Women’s March was announced for the day after Mr. Trump’s swearing-in, Ms. Suh, a novice knitter, came up with a pattern for a cat-eared pink cap to wear to the protest and posted it online.
Ms. Suh has stayed somewhat politically involved; she canvassed for Ms. Harris in Arizona. But she had no plans to protest this weekend. “I feel like I’m just so much more jaded now,” she said.
… In Ms. Morganelli’s (a women’s health nurse and lifelong Democrat) living room, the Lehigh Valley ROAR members spoke of leaning on one another even more as some family members drifted away from their politics in recent years: children who had grown enamored with right-wing survivalism or opposition to vaccines during the coronavirus pandemic, or turned on Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris over their support for Israel.
“I lost my liberal, progressive son to Joe Rogan,” one said, as others nodded in sympathy.
They felt alienated from younger Democratic activists who seemed to see fighting Mr. Trump as a lesser priority than matters of ideological purity.

Wow! All the branches from the ugly tree have now been broken with that one group.
So then Madonna won’t be there to talk of blowing up the White House?
“The Women’s March” got a boost from the gals that had hotel reservations for Hillary’s inauguration, and found themselves at loose ends, that day.

Pussy hats are now verboten. They offend the “trans” community.

“And Democrats still now bear scars from last year’s conflicts over Israel’s invasions of Gaza and Lebanon”
Note the framing of Israel being the aggressor, when, in fact, hamass and hezbollah were the actual aggressors.

children who had grown enamored with right-wing survivalism or opposition to vaccines during the coronavirus pandemic
This was an extra reason for the youths breaking for Trump is Covid.
Yes, everyone lost something during the pandemic.
But the youngsters, depending upon their age, lost their childhood, lost college years, or lost young adulthood. Those are Big Things to lose, that you can’t get back.
The Dems pushed the most destructive elements of the pandemic …destructive to youths.
And this kids are NOT alright….they’re peeved.
I believe they took it out on Harris. Serves her right
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
