    If enough people could have believed this when we were shouting it back in November, she would have had to say this.

    Are she and Sanders the only politicians in the United States actively opposing Trump? I keep searching for news of others taking a stand, but it appears only those two are doing so openly.

    Trump has crossed so many lines but I really do not see any outcry, mass resistance or opposition?

      Be mindful not to mistake suppression of dissent with lack of dissent. News media is actively avoiding protests. We’re out there, even if the news cameras aren’t.

      Illinois governor JB Pritzker is openly opposing through legislation and trolling. He held a mock press conference stating that Lake Michigan was now Lake Illinois and went to the zoo to negotiate with penguins on tariffs. California governor Gavin Newsom is suing the Trump admin over tariffs.

      There were also coordinated protests across the US a couple weeks ago. Every town hall held by Republicans is a complete zoo, so much so that certain reps fear for their life and have stopped holding them.

      Federal workers are leaking musk directives and doing their best to stall the doge squad.

      Just because Trump hasn’t been removed one way or another from office doesn’t mean that people are doing nothing.

      Al Greene, Jasmine Crockett, Tim Walz, and Saikat Chakrabarti. When Trump starts to openly murder American citizens, I expect many fired military leaders will suddenly be leading National Guards.

      That’s because he controls the media.

      The guy from the Circle Jerks just called for an army of Luigi Mangionis while on stage at Coachella, so there’s that

      Seems that way, yes people are starting to protest but not nearly enough, and as another commenter mentioned the media is not covering it, which should surprise no one.

      The Democratic party needs to be laying out the facts when the CiC lies to the people, but nope they seem to be just sitting back sulking saying “see we told you this would happen and since you didn’t vote us in we’re not going to do shit”

    Trump has spent longer at rallies spewing insults at his personal and political enemies. The difference is that she is angry and fired up about justice and genuine love of country. Oh, and everything she said is actually true.

      It’s true but hollow. Dems are never going to have as strong a hand as they had in 2021, when Biden was taking office with an open hand and a liberal-friendly bureaucracy.

      The government that Trump leaves behind in his second term is going to be gutted and its institutions slaved to whatever technocracy Musk and Thiel can cobble together in the next four years. You’re not going to have a DOJ capable of prosecuting an ex-President or an FBI capable of investing one or a court willing to rule against one. And that’s assuming we still have an election system capable of replacing him or his party.

      AOC’s truths are too little and too late. She should have been out there rallying a crowd to scream this shit in Biden’s ear back when it mattered. She should have been holding firm on “Defund ICE” back before they were snatching people off the street and shoving them in El Salvadorian prisons.

      That’s the real difference between her and Trump. He spent eight years building a real active reactionary fascist movement. Meanwhile, I don’t see any AOC-Stans storming the capital in the next four years.

        She was. Turns out nothing you do matters if the entire media apparatus is conspiring with the other side.

        You don’t even know what you wish would happen. First you say there’s no way that the Democrats can recover, which ignores the obvious truth that perhaps they could, and also opens up the option that a legitimate party could possibly replace them. Second, you suggest that storming the capital is a good idea, but if that’s the case it doesn’t really matter what happens in the polls, because we’re already moving towards anarchy, right? Third, if you want to get together a group of people and storm the capital, I think you’re going to end up in the morgue very quickly. The cops up there do not like people like you, they will be happy to take down people like you.

      Inappropriate assessment. I fear for everyone’s safety. Constitutional freedoms and the rule of law protected everyone. Removing them is a double edged sword that puts everyone at risk.

        Good point… I was under the impression that I was only allowed to fear for one person’s safety at a time 🙄

        This is as stupid as saying “all lives matter” after seeing a BLM sign.

        Obviously everyone’s safety is at risk right now, and in the near future. The og comment wasn’t saying “screw everyone else, save her!” They were simply wishing for the safety of one of the most outspoken, and therefore vulnerable people actually making a difference in this situation.

            You’re not wrong, but the person responding to you us correct. Both things can be true, but attempting to divert the message waters it down. We’re all in danger and have a fascist MAGA problem. However, AOC is 100% in more danger than the average person in the US. There is no reality where I would be in more danger than AOC is unless in some other reality we swapped places.

            She is openly and vocally speaking out with a position of power and influence.
