The Resistance to a New Trump Administration Has Already Started
NY Times ^ | 6.16.2024 | Charlie Savage et al

Posted on 06/16/2024 9:52:37 AM PDT by libh8er

Opponents of Donald J. Trump are drafting potential lawsuits in case he is elected in November and carries out mass deportations, as he has vowed. One group has hired a new auditor to withstand any attempt by a second Trump administration to unleash the Internal Revenue Service against them. Democratic-run state governments are even stockpiling abortion medication.

A sprawling network of Democratic officials, progressive activists, watchdog groups and ex-Republicans has been taking extraordinary steps to prepare for a potential second Trump presidency, drawn together by the fear that Mr. Trump’s return to power would pose a grave threat not just to their agenda but to American democracy itself.

“Trump has made clear that he’ll disregard the law and test the limits of our system,” said Joanna Lydgate, the chief executive of States United Democracy Center, a nonpartisan democracy watchdog organization that works with state officials in both parties. “What we’re staring down is extremely dark.”

While the Supreme Court on Thursday rejected an attempt to nullify federal approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, liberals fear a new Trump administration could rescind the approval or use a 19th-century morality law to criminalize sending it across state lines.

Trillion of taxpayer dollars have been squandered and stolen by Biden cronies with nothing to show.

a grave threat not just to their agenda but to American democracy itself....

Somehow I knew I'd encounter this phrase. It's all the rage these days, you know.

Any like effort to those opposed to another Biden administration would face arrest, fines, and imprisonment cheered on by the NYT.

Shocked I tell you…sheer 😳 ….NOT! If he wins, this is well expected they will do everything in their power to bring his presidency down. It’s going to be another redux of his 4 years of hell in that office. They’re evil and remember he’s going literally to the pit of Hell of this nation aka the DC swamp cesspool to clean it up. Good luck with that!

The best way to fight a Trump resistance, is the presidency, senate and house all GOP.

Indeed. Anyone who thinks Trump’s woes will go away if he is reelected has another think coming. “Resistance 2.0” will be Resistance 1.0 on steroids.

Our Democracy™ has nothing to fear but democracy itself.

The left has no sense of irony in their claims that the people freely voting for the eeeevil orangemanbad is a threat to democracy.

This could be good news, or it could just be bad news.

Good news if they have information that Trump will live to be sworn in and serious preparations are under way. Bad news if they know otherwise and are saying this to provide cover.

Just like the resistance to the restoration of America's Free Constitution Republic has already started.

Satan is the weakener of nations but our God is mightier than he. Amen.

Looks like a fun group. Must be hard to get through life being such a miserable person. I wonder if these people realize that “useful idiots” and second-tier party members are the among the first to populate the gulags when a Marxist regime takes power.

Folks,

It is going to take a generation to turn things around. It is going to take EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US in the battle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_quarters

General quarters, battle stations, or action stations is an announcement made aboard a naval warship to signal that all hands (everyone available) aboard a ship must go to battle stations (the positions they are to assume when the vessel is in combat) as quickly as possible.[1]
