‘Hit By A Sledgehammer’: Trump’s Second Victory Seemingly Deals Death Blow To #Resistance
Nov. 22, 2024.1/2
President-elect Donald Trump’s 2016 electoral victory was met with fierce opposition in the form of a self-styled #Resistance intent on countering his every move.Now, they’re nowhere to be found.
Following Trump’s 2016 win, a triumph in which he secured an electoral victory but not the popular vote, his detractors immediately mobilized, organizing science marches, engaging in meme-worthy meltdowns and participating in the infamous Pink Vagina Hat Parade.
The Resistance circa 2016 was relentless. They burned flags and blocked freeways. Ben & Jerry’s even launched a Resistance-themed ice cream flavor.
Following Trump’s recent win, though, The Resistance has been noticeably muted.
“Already, my wave of Facebook friends, Instagram friends, they’re already tuning out. Why should any of us care about the confirmations?” Hugo Walker, a Connecticut-based Democrat asked media veteran Mark Halperin in a Thursday edition of the “2Way Tonight” YouTube show.
“I want to care more,” Walker continued. “I read a bunch of stuff today, posted a lot of stuff, I got crickets. Just a couple of snarky comments about recess confirmations and that was just about it.”
Halperin concurred, saying he’s noticed that Democrats are checked out.
Jill Abramson, a former executive editor at the New York Times, chimed in, contrasting the left’s current vibe with their fervor after Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss.
“Much more overt, kind of, let’s get in the streets and protest,” she said of 2016. “It seems like people have been, on the left and Democrats, have been hit by a sledgehammer,” Abramson noted.
“I think what they’re having a lot of trouble kind of dealing with. is that the election showed that the country has moved to the right,” she continued.
“They’re kind of in mourning over that,” Abramson concluded.
While some states are still tallying incoming votes, Trump appears to be the first Republican presidential nominee to capture the popular vote since George W. Bush did so in 2004.
Moreover, besides winning all seven battleground swing states, Trump made gains in virtually every state in the union, including in historically blue counties like in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley.
That rightward shift, as Abramson pointed out, has contributed to The Resistance’s muted mood.
“I’m much less shocked than I was eight years ago, and I’m a lot more tired,” Jonathan Morrill, a 53-year-old Harris supporter told the New York Times.
Even the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” perennial Trump critics who have previously likened the former President to Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler, appear to be softening after paying Trump a visit in Florida.
“Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to speak personally with President-elect Trump, it was the first time we have seen him in seven years,” the show’s co-host Mika Brzezinski announcedMonday. ..
