Lessons for the resistance 2.0 on how to fight back against Trump | Jan-Werner Mueller

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

41% : True, it had genuine shock value: everyone knew that Trump was an aspiring authoritarian devoted only to dollars and domination (and, more specifically, the ideology of white supremacy); yet almost half of those who bothered to go to the polls still voted for him.
33% : Of course, these were not solely responsible for preventing the plutocratic power grab we are witnessing now: back then, Trump had neither a plan nor the personnel he has today.
31% : Surveys show that majorities are unhappy with Trump and Musk (but also with Democratic leadership).
30% : Instead, Democrats should be true to their own message from the campaign, for it has been vindicated: Trump is proving an existential threat to democracy.
28% : But we cannot give up A month into Trump 2.0, pushback from Democrats and civil society remains surprisingly weak.
16% : But the casual dismissal of opposition under Trump 1.0 is an unforced error.
