The #Resistance Trump ignited will shape politics for a generation
McClatchy ^ | January 20, 2018 | Alex Roarty

Jennifer Mosbacher cried in a doctor’s office the morning after Donald Trump’s election, unable to control herself during a routine physical. The 43-year-old Atlanta suburbanite had avoided politics her entire life but was overcome with shock by an outcome she never saw coming.

[snip]Mosbacher’s transformation is at the heart of an unprecedented movement inside the Democratic Party. Dubbed “The Resistance,” it has — in the year since Donald Trump’s inauguration — turned countless apolitical women and men into firebrand activists set on remaking the political system.

Their fury-driven activism explains why abortion-rights group Emily’s List has been contacted by more than 22,000 women interested in running for office, and why hundreds of progressive “pop-up” groups formed to help Democrats with everything from fundraising to website design. They are now part of the party’s political firmament in 2018, giving Democrats a candidate recruitment boost and an undeniable enthusiasm edge over the GOP.

I can only assume that Ms. Mosbacher and thousands like her never heard or read or researched Hillary Clinton or her pick as a running mate, Tim Kaine, a radical who embraced liberation theology a form of Marxism; Ms. Mosbacher is another victim of fake news...i.e., the cover up of the real Hillary Clinton. Otherwise, unless Mosbacher was already predisposed to Socialism, allowed herself to be led away from the U.S. Constitution and American values such as integrity of our elected...Hillary could never be accused of being honest.

Obama has his team led by the intrepid Valarie Jarrett, another raised on Islam, along with other Social/Marxist who will try to still turn America, once again into a Socialist nation in 2020. They won't fail this time unless we fight back and stand firm with this POTUS, a true American and keep exposing the crimes and scandals of the Obama administration.....Obama was in on the Uranium One sale.....every thing came from the top, the "Oval Office".

I remember the hagiography of the Tea Party by the MSM.

Hence, the far left “democrats” desperation to get DACA through the Congress. The ‘RATS need all the voters they can import into America.

Unfortunately for them, Trump's election has awakened far more 'apolitical' men and women to the evil reality of the left.

We need someone like Tailgunner Joe McCarthy, criminalizing people who are trying to overthrow the constitution of the US.

Freedom of speech does not mean using it to overthrow the constitution itself

It’s just the “Tea Party” circa 2009-2010 with a leftist bent. Will be used by the Democratic Party until the midterms, and then promptly dumped before the 2020 presidential election. The only difference between the two is this one has the mainstream media’s full support, whereas the media was pretty vitriolic in its opposition to the Tea Party for daring to oppose their lord and savior, Barack Obama.

I doubt the lady in my Pilates class with “The Resistance” bumper sticker on her car even KNOWS a thing about what she’s resisting. Other than men...

They have done the same things to every Republican.
Nothing has changed because they are always obnoxious and divide the country . The only time they are semi quiet is whe they are in power destroying everything.
They are NOTHING but a destructive force in the country and it’s great to have a President that actually fights back and calls them on their lies.

The cat ladies with their pink hats will be absolutely suicidal when Trump wins his re-election in 2020 because “no one they know voted for Trump”.

Some of these women are the same women you see with large glasses lecturing children in suburban schools about whiteness.

Jennifer Mosbacher is Atlantan in name only, a transplanted Californian now comfortably occupying the upscale suburb of Roswell. While abortion is the sacrament of her feminist religion, I hope that she will come to reallze that the millions of children slaughtered in the womb are just as precious as her own daughter. Now that is something to cry about.

You want to see the new “resistance” go look at the comments section on every liberal article on Yahoo. Conservatives are not remaining quiet any longer. They have realized that the coast liberals goals to change the country can and will be defeated if we band together and give them the beat down.

“...turned countless apolitical women and men into firebrand activists...”

Apolitical? Really?

I call this full blown bull$hit. Normal, apolitical people don’t go to their doctors office to complain about elections.

It’s only the insane, far left wing idealogues that do this.

........this too long, repetitive article about Ms Mosbacher is nothing more than ANOTHER Pep Rally for the Left. They LOST BIG TIME and are just now getting around to dealing with the fact that the Leftist Movement they Love even more than throwing their Frisbee to their Lab in the People’s Park down the street from their 300sf condo is sliding down hill.

She should have visited the proctologist to have her head removed instead.

I think it was Limbaugh who wrote that Feminism was created to give ugly women a role in politics. Yesterday I passed a gathering of women holding a [political rally at a medium-sized town. It was a conclave of the ugliest women ever dropped. About one in ten was a man, if you can call “it” that. With their pussy hats and vulgar signs, it was a horror show.
