The self-named Resistance: how’s it doing this time?

The New Neo Posted on by

At Axios they say it’s more muted:

2016 birthed The Resistance, a political movement to protest Trumpism online and in the streets. There’s still plenty of resistance to Trump across the country, but little mass mobilization.

That’s not the Resistance. That’s just the outward manifestation of dislike; and it’s true that the demonstrations aren’t what they used to be. But this time it more often takes the form of personal anger towards friends, relatives, and acquaintances who voted for Trump; I’ve seen tons of articles about this and experienced isolated instances myself.

But still, that’s not the Resistance and never was.

The real “Resistance” is leftist activism to undermine Trump: lies about him in the media and by government agencies (for example, the entire operation known as Russiagate). It’s lawfare, which is sputtering out in its current form but might well be revived either now or especially after his term is up. It’s – perish the thought – the encouragement of assassination. It’s similar operations against anyone who might have the temerity to work for him.

It’s the workings of many members of government bureaucracy, who are now especially agitated and motivated because their jobs are threatened by Trump’s promise to drain the swamp – which in many cases might mean they lose their jobs.

It’s actions by states and governors of states who have pledged to undermine and/or defy whatever Trump might want to do. It’s damaging leaks from people he hires who might betray him. And it’s surveillance of his every move.

Have I left anything out? Probably. But I very much doubt that those forces have spent their energy.

  2. There is also the seemingly readily available large amount of money out there that can be paid out to anyone in Trump’s orbit leaking damaging info (or info that can be twisted into something damaging) to the media.

  3. Jeff Clark:

    Here are my observations on Jack Smith raising the white flag and moving to dismiss his “J6” case against Trump:

    1) The motion seeks dismissal without prejudice. This is absurd and raises the prospect that Judge Chutkan will grant that relief and leave a Sword of Damocles hanging over President Trump’s head such that the case against him could be reactivated in 2029. The American people do not want that. And the very existence of such a Sword of Damocles is unconstitutional as it raises risk of impairing the presidency by leaving a cloud in place.

    2) The biggest problem with this move is that Jack Smith’s basis for moving for dismissal without prejudice is that two OLC opinions (one from the Nixon Admin and one from the Clinton) opined that sitting Presidents can’t be indicted or the separation of powers is violated. But the OLC opinions say the immunity is temporary.

    3) This is to reify OLC opinions over Supreme Court precedent. The Supreme Court in Trump v U.S. ordered that the President is permanently absolutely immune from some categories of actions and presumptively immune — also on a permanent basis — from other categories of action.

    4) Supreme Court opinions are actual binding authority. OLC opinions are not binding in the courts. Jack Smith’s view of the world is backwards, upside-down, and DOJ-centric.

    5) For these reasons and to spare the Nation grief and turmoil (and the unfairness of trying actions 9+ years stale at some point in the future), the District Court should grant the motion but WITH PREJUDICE.

    7) The District Court should not toll the statute or limitations to permit Trump to be pulled back into this process post 1/20/29.

    8) Prosecutors possess discretion. Any fair-minded prosecutor would be all for dismissal with prejudice to close the book on this case. But Jack Smith is instead only hanging up his spurs temporarily.

    Jack Smith should have taken the message from the voters and gotten off the national stage as quick as possible. But he is thinking only of himself.

  5. Wasn’t Jack Smith technically illegally appointed without the approval of Congress? If so, could he just be removed from the case by the DOJ or whatever?

  6. Have I left anything out? Probably. But I very much doubt that those forces have spent their energy.

    neo:

    No. But they are attenuated. I doubt we will see rioting in the streets or pussy hats on parade.

    We will see minor and major sabotage from the Deep State (also synonymous with the Biden administration).

    I’m wondering, as do others, whether the Biden admin is now attempting to eff the Ukraine situation so badly that there is no way Trump can broker a peace deal. It wouldn’t surprise me.

    If that escalates into WW 3, it’s collateral damage and it’s our fault. Trump shouldn’t have been elected.

  7. sitting Presidents can’t be indicted or the separation of powers is violated

    Unpack this for a minute. A “sitting President” is the boss of the person who’d be indicting him. A sitting President should be not be allowing his subordinates to indict him. There’s no reason to inflate this into some kind of rule. The entire executive power is vested in the President:

    The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

    There’s no “independence” of the Department of Justice. That’s Swamp Talk. That’s how we get unelected and unaccountable government.

    If Smith is dropping the case, or not dropping the case, that is fundamentally up to his CURRENT boss, one Joseph Robinette Biden.

  9. The resistance is just re-grouping, biding it’s time to figure out the best way to destroy Trump and his presidency.

    The resistance will originate in the DOD / the Pentagon, the DOJ, FBI, CIA and the NSA. All the Quislings within these organizations will work together to coordinate their efforts.
    The democrat party leadership will of course conduct a 24/7/365 campaign against Trump accusing him of being Hitler, a racist, a fascist, etc, while the aforementioned agency Quislings will be supplying to the demonkrats their own “evidence” of Trumps wrong doings.

    All of the above will be fed to the MSM to broadcast all the “evidence” non-stop, 24/7/365.
    Whoever thinks the MSM is finished, dead, will be in for a rude awakening.

    The entrenched agencies, the demonkrats and their propaganda outlets will all conspire and work together to destroy and thwart all of Trump’s policies and his legitimacy as president.

    Trump has at most 3 to 6 months to clean house; to find and remove the Quislings, the Fifth Columnists, the traitors and remove them.

    It’s too bad he will not have the time to arrest and indict the traitors within the govt.,; he more than likely will be too busy trying to implement his agenda.

    General Milley (and those who assisted him) – for starters – really should be indicated for treason as well as for criminal negligence in “supervising” the disastrous US withdrawal from Afghanistan, and Mayorkas (and those who carried out his orders) should be indicted for repeatedly lying under oath before Congress as well as being an accessory to several murders (Laken Riley being one victim).
    Both of these vermin deserve, at best, life in prison, though a more severe and permanent punishment would be more appropriate.

    True, Milley and Mayorkas both took orders (Nuremberg defense, anybody?) from Biden, but he has presidential immunity.

  10. The half wit who is mayor of Denver has said he would go to jail to stop deportations. I think the Trump administration will accommodate him if he actually goes through with it. I suspect after he is done grandstanding, he won’t do anything. I think it’s a virtue signaling thing for his lefty pals.

  11. California governor Newsom called a special session of the California legislature to plan and fund the states resistance to the Trump administration. As an example, Newsom proposes that the state pay the $4500 electric car tax credit if it is eliminated by the Trump administration. The state is already running huge deficits so Newsom is going to get the money by increasing the “carbon“ tax.

    Trump is going to eliminate California’s special car emissions rules that allows them to dictate to the rest of the country since they are such a large market. That will lead to a court battle.

    Expect to see a repeat of the Hawaii judge issuing a nationwide injunction against President Trump’s rules for travel to some Muslim countries in his first term with other issues now.

    ————-

    I know the guy–my guess is that after (at least) one unsuccessful US senate run, he’s hoping the upshot of this grandstanding will be what gains him enough notoriety/”fame” to get that senate seat in the future (and he’s probably hoping for more, like a shot in 2028).

  13. Should be noted that the Democratic was “the RESISTANCE” when it WAS in power during the current century (as well as when Trump was POTUS46).

    To be sure, the Democrats will ALWAYS be “the RESISTANCE” until they succeed in taking apart the U.S.A.

  14. “To be sure, the Democrats will ALWAYS be “the RESISTANCE” until they succeed in taking apart the U.S.A.”

    Any ideology whose premises are antithetical to basic principles that govern the external reality within which we exist and are also antithetical to unchangeable aspects of human nature is only sustainable through ever greater coercion.

    Which is why Lenin was correct when he declared that, “The goal of socialism is communism.”

    Attempts to graft a collectivist ideology into a culture whose foundations rest upon the autonomy of the individual is ultimately doomed to failure. America is poor soil for collectives. It is only the Left’s March Through the Institutions that has allowed the Left to fool so many of the people. Yet the increasing deterioration of our leftist controlled cities bears witness to their ‘fruits’ and 82% of Americans live in those deteriorating conditions. So essentially, leftists are asking those city dwellers to deny what they can see with their own eyes. At some point, denial becomes unsustainable because reality is a task master that demands an ever higher price for intransigent denial.

  17. Dershowitz is pretty remarkable at 86, seems 10 years younger. He also seems to be genuinely supportive of Trump even if he won’t explicitly say so. I can forgive his self-absorption (“I invented the term ‘lawfare,'” “I invented ‘___ derangement syndrome'” and so on). Loved the Biblical Zoo joke/anecdote (I don’t think it’s a true story)–even though I’d heard it before, I’d forgotten the punchline.

  19. @ Barry Meislin > “Oops, should be POTUS45….”

    I thought you meant ‘POTUS46’ because Trump won the 2020 election, instead of Biden.
    Of course, the Democrats have been The Resistance Against MAGA Americans since 2016, regardless of whether Trump was in the White House or not, and will be going forward.

    However, I thought that Resisting the elected president was called Insurrection.

  20. Why are so many people intent on becoming The Resistance, as if they really were fighting the original Hitler — rather than a media-star billionaire businessman who was friends with most Democrat politicians not that long ago?

    Because this is the kind of thing they read all the time.
    And I have noticed that even right-wing media pundits throw in some of the biased language by default, because they don’t edit their AP feeds before they copy-paste the stories.

    https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/11/25/this-is-not-news-nyt-n3797322

    …
    Now I want to talk about another aspect of the story: how The New York Times uses its news stories to propagandize the unwary readers into accepting a frame of reference that turns Trump into the “bad guy” and his opponents into the “good guys.”
    Yes, the people who are demanding that the government force people to buy products they don’t want are the GOOD guys because, well, Orange Man Bad. It’s not even the environmentalist arguments they rely on. It is pure slander.

    Watch how the story frames Trump:
    …
    Never once does the Times acknowledge that Trump may believe the mandates are a bad idea, harm consumers, undermine the economy, and impede “making America great again.” Instead, Trump opposes these mandates because he is a liar, in the pay of bad people, and holds grievances against the poor automakers.

    This is, of course, pure mind-reading. Trump has said exactly why he opposes the mandates, and his voters agree with him. It has nothing to do with emotions or payoffs. They are a horrible idea. But by framing the whole discussion in terms of imagined feelings and motives the Times gives its readers a view of the world that reinforces the preferred Narrative™.

    Here are some other words tossed into the piece to frame the dispute:

    Grudge
    Grievance
    Revenge
    Furious

    Is it any wonder that readers of The New York Times have such a distorted view of Trumpworld? No doubt Trump feels various emotions, has grievances, gets furious, holds grudges, and behaves like anybody else when opposed. But writing about major public policy decisions based on mind-reading and projection isn’t journalism, its opinion speculation.

    It’s dishonest, too.

    We hear all the time about how Trump lies and lies, but almost ever single claim made about Trump by Biden and Harris was based on an outright hoax, and the Times never said a word about it.

    It’s all narrative, and this is one of the ways they get it across. Throw in a bunch of loaded terms as if they represented known facts, and readers walk away with a distorted impression of the debate. Never once does the Times take seriously that Trump or others could oppose the EV mandates for perfectly logical reasons.

    Most people I know oppose the mandates, and I have no grudge, grievance, or desire for revenge. To the extent I am furious, it is that the government is distorting the marketplace, artificially limiting my choices, harming the economy, and making life worse for everybody.

    The Times ignores the real debate, choosing only to slander Trump. That is not journalism. It is journalisming.

    I guess “journalisming” is supposed to be a cool new word replacing “propaganda” but the old word is perfectly adequate.

    Doing this to Trump is not a new thing; stories about Reagan, Bushes I and II, and politicians below the level of President are handled the same way. The Regime Media has just turned the dial up to 11 for Trump.

  21. Now that I’ve Godwinned the thread (which is no longer a Thing since the media went totally to DefConEleventy), here are a couple of takes on another consequence of the Democrats going All-Hitler All-the-time.

    It’s the same basic story, but with different excerpts from the source study/report.
    Two stories focus on the methodology of the study, and the other two focus on the suppression of the report.

    https://www.nysun.com/article/press-times-suppress-findings-study-dei-training-amplifies-hostility-instead-reducing

    Researchers with the Network Contagion Research Institute say ‘anti-racist’ and ‘anti-oppressive pedagogy’ actually increase racial tensions.
    Diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are supposed to make workplaces and colleges more hospitable and welcoming to people of diverse backgrounds. However, a study by the Network Contagion Research Institute and the Social Perception Lab at Rutgers University found that DEI programs focused on “anti-racist” and “anti-oppressive” ideology tend to do the exact opposite.

    Researchers examined the effects of “diversity training interventions that emphasize awareness of and opposition to ‘systemic oppression.’” The approach of focusing on “systemic oppression” was popularized by the author Ibram X. Kendi in his book, “How to Be an Antiracist,” and it has been widely adopted at colleges and in the healthcare field, the study notes.

    https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2024/11/25/study-dei-training-created-perceptions-of-prejudice-where-none-was-present-n3797362

    A study by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University Social Perception Lab found that exposure to DEI materials made people more likely to perceive prejudice where none existed. Simply put, they appear to do more harm than good by increasing hostility between groups.
    …
    Educational materials from some of the most well published and well known DEI scholars not only failed to positively enhance interracial attitudes, they provoked baseless suspicion and encouraged punitive attitudes.
    …
    Finally, National Review has a story up about this and it contains this interesting mention of other outlets who decided not to cover these results.

    https://www.nationalreview.com/news/dei-training-increases-perception-of-non-existent-prejudice-agreement-with-hitler-rhetoric-study-finds/

    A new study found that diversity, equity, and inclusion materials have a wide range of negative consequences, including psychological harm, increased hostility, and greater agreement with extreme authoritarian rhetoric, such as adapted Adolf Hitler quotes.

    Both the New York Times and Bloomberg were preparing stories on the findings, but axed them just before publication citing editorial decisions.

    The Network Contagion Research Institute, or NCRI, and Rutgers University Social Perception Lab released the study “Instructing Animosity: How DEI Pedagogy Produces the Hostile Attribution Bias” on Monday. The study examined whether the themes and materials common in DEI trainings foster inclusion or exacerbate conflicts,…

    Strange as it seems, the DC headline thus is literally true.
    https://dailycaller.com/2024/11/25/legacy-media-outlets-buried-research-showing-dei-linked-hostility/
    “Legacy Media Outlets Buried Research Showing DEI Makes People More Likely To Agree With Hitler”

    In the experiment, researchers took 850 participants and gave one group a neutral essay on the caste system in India, and gave the other caste-sensitivity-training material from Equality Labs, a left-wing human rights organization, according to the study.

    When participants who read the DEI-inspired material viewed modified past statements from Hitler which replaced the word “Jew” with “Brahmin,” the upper class in the caste system, they were more likely to agree that Brahmins were “‘parasites’ (+35.4%), ‘viruses’ (+33.8%), and ‘the devil personified’ (+27.1%),” according to the study.

    The DEI-charged material seemed to “engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment,” according to the study.

    I don’t actually put much credence in these studies about reactions to “priming” the subjects, but the results are in line with real-world effects, according to a vague memory I have of reading stories from back in the hey-day of feminism, when men who were being “trained” to respect women in the workplace actually ended up thinking less of their female co-workers than before.

    Of course, that was also back when we knew what women were.

  22. I fear that the “resistance” is trying to spark a hot war with Russia. Then when Trump steps back from the ledge and away from world war, they will use this to resurrect the old “Trump is a Russian agent” trope. That is, if they don’t actually begin the world war before Trump takes office.

    The flaw in this plan is that I do not believe that the American public wants war with Russia or China. Nor do I believe that the American public is nearly as hawkish about Ukraine as the ruling class. Support Ukraine? Yes. Send our children to die for Ukraine? Absolutely not. Attempt to survive a nuclear exchange over Ukraine? Are you crazy?

    So maybe my fears are crazy because of course whoever (or whoevers) are running US foreign policy between now and January 20 recognize where the public is and, therefore, aren’t actually trying to spark a hot war or recklessly risking one. But I don’t think that the elites realize how much the public is against war with Russia over Ukraine or, if they do, they are so ensconced in their ideological bubble that they don’t particularly care.

  23. Bauxite

    The flaw in this plan is that I do not believe that the American public wants war with Russia or China.

    Don’t worry—America has incredibly weak leaders recently, e.g., Clinton, Obama, Trump, and Biden. Such weak leaders support the ‘Wait until your Enemy hits you first‘…meanwhile, try to beg and/or sanction them until they do.

    Send our children to die for Ukraine?

    As far as I know, Ukraine has never asked America to provide “Boots on the Ground” – they did ask for air support over Ukraine, which NATO should’ve been providing long ago.

    Attempt to survive a nuclear exchange over Ukraine?

    Yes, best to let your enemy threaten you…then show how fast you can roll over. Showing FEAR is always the best defense {sarc}.

    Ukraine would be a great ally—they are willing to do the ground fighting, unlike a majority of American allies (Exceptions – England, Israel, Poland, and some others PLUS the new NATO members).

    But I don’t think that the elites realize how much the public is against war with Russia over Ukraine

    I don’t see it that way…YMMV. Besides, it is not “Russia over Ukraine”. It’s Russia/Iran/North Korea over Ukraine AND Israel…at this time.

  24. Sigh, China killed a million people, (round numbers) back in 2020, yet we treat them with kid gloves,

  25. Karmi:

    (1) One man’s “wait until your enemy hits you first” is another man’s “keep goading your enemy until it starts the war that you’re too chicken#### to start yourself.” The public will notice.

    (2) It’s hard to square “Ukraine has never asked America to provide “Boots on the Ground” with your first point. It’s a red herring. No one is suggesting that Ukraine will request US troops, or that the US will volunteer them (although Le Monde reported yesterday that the UK and France are considering doing just that). The issue is whether US activities in Ukraine goad Russia into attacking US interests directly, which would result in a US response.

    (3) Whether you like it or not, nuclear weapons do (or at least should) change the calculations. This is why we work so hard at non-proliferation, or should. (Gee, thanks Obama.) It’s not about fear, or at not about unreasonable fear. Nuclear war is worse than Russia taking Donbas and Crimea. Nuclear war is worse than Russia using Ukraine as a buffer state between itself and NATO. If Putin was Hitler 2.0, bent on building a neo-Russian empire by gobbling up independent countries in Europe and massacring the native populations, then maybe nuclear war might be worth it. But that’s not the situation we’re in. Hand-waving about how we can’t give in to nuclear blackmail doesn’t make a nuclear exchange any less devastating for humanity. In a perfect world, nukes wouldn’t provide that kind of power. In the world that actually exists, they do. Pretending otherwise is dangerous.

    (4) Our elites have absolutely not prepared the American public for the kinds of sacrifices in blood and treasure that would have to be made if the US went to war with Russia, nor have they obtained consent. (And that’s before you consider the potential of a nuclear exchange, which would be an extinction-level event for most of the American population.) Heck, we suffered a completely unprovoked attack on civilians in 2001, and the public soured on the resulting wars in a matter of a few years after the costs started adding up. Wait until people have to start sending their children off to eastern Europe or the far side of the Pacific as a result of a Russia/Ukraine war that all of our betters assured us would be won as soon as we imposed economic sanctions two years ago, and then assured us could be won easily without our involvement if we would just give the Ukrainians more weapons.

    If there is a war, and any significant portion of the American public survives, the public mood towards the leaders who stumbled us into is going to be very, very harsh.

  26. Bauxite

    Good points… tho some commenter suggested YMMV to me a while back, and I used it here.

    Our elites have absolutely not prepared the American public for the kinds of sacrifices in blood and treasure that would have to be made if the US went to war with Russia, nor have they obtained consent.

    Yeah, the ‘Nanny State‘ concept of both the Republican & Democratic parties is probably my #2 reason for not joining either. #1 would be they are both *BIG GOVT* supporters, but they each just want to use the power of *BIG GOVT* differently – to cram their beliefs down the throats of others.

    War suks—no doubt:

    You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

    Huh, didn’t realize that was a biblical quote…anyway, America is probably due for another war. Humans are natural born killers, and war/conflicts has been in their nature since the beginning.

    Ditto on the Huh, and may have just found my #3 reason for not joining either REP or DEM parties. Their ‘War on Mother Nature‘…

  27. sigh, the people who want to go in on a war in the Steppes, are exactly the sort that allowed Suleimani to murder countless American forces, in Iraq, who let the Mexican cartel, kill a full vietnam casualty count due to fentanyl poison,

  28. One of the first things that must be done is to encourage all women to begin to agree to something like the 10 rules of good behavior (10 commandments). We need all women to begin to understand that making “dirty tricks” in the workplace, or in government, or in your community life is not something you are entitled to do because you are “woman –hear me roar”. We need to help women to see that if they want a healthy community /nation they have to work on implementing reasoned and fair minded behavior — not just “whatever it takes man”. The women born after 1970 have all been indoctrinated to believe that because they have been held down for 3,000 years it is their right to do “any dang thing I want to get what I want”. We have to start confronting that problem!
    The women in our country must be encouraged to understand that the “feminist leadership” of the past fifty years has made some bad mistakes. And, in fact hasn’t been any righter or fairer than the male leadership was before they took over! Some individual feminist leaders have been as unreservedly cruel as any male in the same role.
    If we want to get back to merit in American universities, we must start with this issue. We must all organize to demand that American universities become great once again. There is only two ways to do that: reestablishing integrity and merit.

  29. Miguel.
    I believe it was double the Viet Nam total.

    Problem with regard to Putin. If he thinks–and what he thinks is up to him–that he “wins” whatever the end of the war looks like, there will be no nukes. And he thinks he prevailed. And that the cost was worth it. And he will think he can do it again and prevail again and….eventually, somebody says, This can’t go on…. So maybe we’re evacuating the last loyal Norwegians out of Narvik or something. And then, it has to stop.
    So maybe then we get nukes.

    That was one of the reasons for NATO’s massive conventional presence in Europe. Not a chance, buddy. Don’t even think it. Worked.

    The tricky part will be convincing Putin–and nobody else’s opinion matters–that he lost in Ukraine and it’s not worth trying something else someplace else and…not triggering nukes.

    Probably, and I say this without being a combination of Caesar, Napoleon, Patton, and…Alexander, the most likely way to accomplish this is to grind out a stalemate in Ukraine until the cost is too much for Putin and such of his advisors as have not been defenestrated. And they have to just…stop. What Putin thinks of his personal fate in that circumstance is part of the equation.

  30. Richard Aubrey – What about Putin’s words or behavior makes you believe that he is going to invade Norway or any other NATO country?

  32. AesopFan – Ukraine hawks are creating their own feedback loop:

    (1) Biden allowed Ukraine to fire US missiles into Russia, which I understand to require significant targeting and operations support from the US. So, basically, the United States fired a bunch of missiles into Russia.

    (2) Russia responded by threatening nuclear retaliation, and launching a (non-nuclear) ICBM into Ukraine. I understand this is the first time that an ICBM has been used in combat. (I also understand that Russia specifically threatened to use nukes against Ukraine.)

    (3) Nordic countries have responded (wisely) by preparing for war with Russia.

    You cannot point to (3) in isolation and claim it as evidence that Russia really does intend to invade NATO countries. This sort of thinking is how calamities begin.

  34. The “Resistance ” is quiet now, but they’re just regrouping.
    We won’t see anything at the Electoral College certification vote in 2025, again, January 6th, because “J6” has been a powerful propaganda weapon for the left, and they don’t want to step on it.
    January 20th, Inauguration Day, as the kool kids say, is gonna be LIT! DC will get the brunt, but if I had a store in downtown in any of the big blue cities, I’d be investing in plywood.
