WARREN, Mich. (AP) — Bernie Sanders is standing alone on the back of a pickup truck shouting into a bullhorn.
He’s facing several hundred ecstatic voters huddled outside a suburban Detroit high school — the group that did not fit inside the high school’s gym or two overflow rooms. The crowd screams in delight when he tells them that a combined total of 9,000 people had shown up for the rally.
“What all of this tells me, is not just in Michigan or in Vermont, the people of this country will not allow us to move toward oligarchy. They will not allow Trump to take us into authoritarianism,” Sanders yelled. “We’re prepared to fight. And we’re going to win.”
In tearing into Trump’s seizure of power and warning about the consequences of firing tens of thousands of government workers, Sanders is bucking the wishes of those who want Democrats to focus on the price of eggs or “roll over and play dead.”
For now, at least, Sanders stands alone as the only elected progressive willing to mount a national campaign to harness the fear and anger of the sprawling anti-Trump movement.
Since losing the White House, Democrats across Washington have struggled to coalesce behind a consistent message or messenger to stop Trump’s aggressive moves to slash the government workforce, weaken federal oversight and empower tech titan Elon Musk to execute his vision.
There has been no centralized movement to organize the anti-Trump resistance.
“You look around — who else is doing it? No one,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said of Sanders’ efforts. “My hope is that the dam will break in terms of Democrats going on the offense ... We need to take the argument directly to the people.”

Whatever you say INGSOC Associated Press.
It looks like they had to roll steps in for that old codger to get in the bed of that pickup truck.
Everyone knows what this old grifter is about by now.
These babbling fool Democrats and journalists don't have a clue. "Anti-Trump" is irrelevant. The way to win elections, even those against Trump (for which there will never be any more elections), is to promote a positive agenda. Few rational voters care what you are AGAINST. People generally want to vote for the things you support.
Please, oh please, let Mr future husk be the candidate.
Bring it.
Tight shot of the...snort...huge crowd...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think he was a major complainer about people not accepting election results.
Yeah. Bernie Sanders is the guy who took his payoff from the Democrats to take a dive against Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democrat primary.
This only shows how far the Dems have fallen. This old Commie is all they got left. Leadership needs to be disbanded to enjoy their wealth on their huge yachts. Dems—you need new leaders! You need a new, untarnished Obama—a good speaker, a good leader. A wavy haired movie star like-dude. No Gays, No, race mixes, a good solid leader—like JFK or FDR. A War Hero would be nice.
Wonderful article. Oh, please, let the resistance coalesce around a far left candidate whose opinions are widely spread among the main stream media. Keep the craziness coming and raise the anti-Trump candidate to the highest visibility. We NEED to increase our numbers in 2026.
FYI - Warren is Michigan’s 2nd most populated city, heavy manufacturing, heavy union, heavy dem etc. It is not the place it was when most of us were born, during WWII it was part of “The Arsenal of Democracy” and to this day you can see remnants of the Warren Tank Plant, rowhouses for workers and other pieces of history.
Did you guys see the lyrics to the song a performer was singing at his rally? The one about “does your god have a big fat …..”? Imagine if that was a song about Puerto Rico. AP would’ve gone nuts right?
AP = Absolute Propaganda
Bernie Sanders via megaphone 📣 , sounds torturous .
“...warning about the consequences of firing tens of thousands of government workers...”
They are NOT workers, they are employees. The last thing they actually do is work, unless it’s to undermine and steal from the American tax payer.
Tens of thousands fired, is not enough. It needs to be in the millions. /spit
working on house # 4, if this is somewhat true the followers of last who got screwed by Bernie twice want to get screwed again. What’s not to look up to, Bernie got his real and only job at 40 working for the government. Hes a commie grifter jim
A Socialist with 3 mansions
AP = Always Propaganda
I was thinking forklift.
