“The election of Donald Trump was a catastrophe for progressive America, but the damage may be mitigated over the long term by a remarkable surge of energy on the left in response to his election.” In February, as many as 5.2 million people participated in hastily organized Women’s Marches across the country, senators’ phones were jammed with calls protesting Trump’s cabinet nominees and other early moves, and, according to a poll conducted by The Washington Post at the time, more than one in three Democrats say they plan to become “more involved in the political process in the next year” as a result of the election. That’s true of 40 percent of Democratic women, and almost half of self-identified liberal Democrats,” according to The Nation.
That surge of energy has evolved into a strong anti-trump resistance movement on social media and in cities and towns across America.
Robert Reich has emerged as a leader in the anti-trump resistance movement. He is a persistent leading voice, spearheading forces against Donald Trump’s presidency, and is a staunch advocate for his impeachment. Reich’s resistance report analysis and guidance are indispensable for anyone who wants to be informed during these crazy and frightening times in American politics. Reich is outstanding at connecting the dots and illuminating the bigger picture that links the countless scandals and outrages that come across the newswire.
Reich’s Live Resistance Report on September 25th, 2017, delves into the controversy over Donald Trump's criticism of the NFL and the players and coaches' responses. He also talked about the Muslim ban, Trump and Kim Jon-un's escalatory back-and-forth, and the fundamental question of what patriotism is about.
