Summary
A genuine backlash to Trump’s ethno-nationalist authoritarianism may be starting to take shape on its own terms.
The Washington Post-ABC News poll shows “Trump slipping underwater on immigration, which has been his best issue,” with 56% of independents disapproving of his handling.
Only 21% of independents want wrongfully deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia to remain imprisoned. These policies “raise basic issues of fundamental fairness, due process, and the rule of law.”
Trump’s lawlessness across the board is clearly a problem, reinforcing the view he’s engaged in rampant extralegal abuses of power.
Stop this rhetoric. We won’t allow this to happen. You’re normalizing the outrageous.
If you don’t acknowledge the possibility - no, the transparent and obvious plan - to illegally hold onto power at all costs, up to and including another attempted coup… if you won’t even acknowledge the possibility, how exactly do you expect to stop it?
He’s selling Trump 2028 merch and his DOJ just said ICE can search any home they want, the FBI is arresting Judges that obey due process. The present situation is outrageous
Agreed, and this rhetoric prepares people to accept it.
I see a call to action in the statement.
To me that sounds like we won’t let it happen, but there’s no further explanation of how. So I’ll ask you directly, do you have some suggestions on how we’ll not let that happen?
There are lots of things one can do, but resigning to the fact that it will happen is not the right answer. Personally, I’m buying guns. I just bought an AR-15.
Thanks for the clarification. If you haven’t already the SRA is a good resource.

… I said “if”. And you don’t need me to normalize the outrageous, those 70+ million people who voted for the guy already did.
How do you plan to stop it, bucko. Same way you stopped him from destroying the department of education and sending a couple million student loans to collections?
The outrageous is happening right now. This is just one more item on the list.
Yes let’s keep victim blaming.

Ok russian bot
I’m a liberal who lives in Michigan and doesn’t want Trump as president. What the fuck are you talking about? My point is that people are resigning to the fact that he’s going to do it and that’s the wrong rhetoric. It’s constitutionally illegal and unacceptable and that’s where you should stand.
“We” are allowing this to happen, right now.
Dont try to minimize the issue. There is a real legitimate threat here, the checks and balances are failing right now.
