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’m on season two and it’s great. The biggest take home message that shouldn’t be lost on Americans is never give up your guns!

Maybe Ms. Mosbacher didn't notice the Real Resistance in this country on November 8, 2016. Americans in droves turned out to counter the planned fundamental transformation of our Sacred Republic to a socialist utopia.

Maybe she ought to see this: "DEPLORABLES UNITE" - (Do you hear the people sing) Trump Anthem

Fight On Folks! Remember what President Reagan said:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." - Ronald Reagan

That's for sure. They had none until they fell from the sky.

“The only time they are semi quiet is whe they are in power destroying everything.”

Great observation. Sums it up well.

The easiest to convert to a totalitarian cause under the guise of ‘’for the children’’, ‘’for the environment’’, etc. are women. Women make the most rabid and dangerous totalitarians if they are appealed to in the manner you describe. They are also the most violent. Women who can kill a child in the womb or advocate it have no compunction what so ever about killing.

You are right! I used to read comments and seldom did anyone speak out against the left...now they are given every bit as much as they dish out. Often most of the comments are conservative. I am truly amazed, and really thrilled to see so many standing up for what we believe.
