'Although the tide may be turning, MAGA isn’t simply going to roll over and slink away. On the contrary, the administration’s power grabs will become even more aggressive and desperate, with growing efforts to intimidate, prosecute and even physically harm political opponents, as well as widespread efforts to suppress dissent with force.'

Trump’s parade flopped. No Kings Day was a hit.

Right now, images largely determine the outcome

@wellingtonrock things will get worse before they get better. Not that difficult, actually, considering everything’s been going downhill for decades.

@wellingtonrock "Nonetheless, despite the difficult times ahead, America has just passed an important test. May freedom ring."

I think it's important to highlight this, for morale. I appreciate the positive tone of the article as a whole--resistance *is* stiffening, and we can keep it up and continue making progress.

@wellingtonrock
I have an idea: Trump should call his MAGA January 6 supporters to DC for a demonstration.
@wellingtonrock
Agree. We saw how he behaved last time the tide turned against him.
