Progressives Unveil New Tactics to Counter Trump

Progressive Democrats are adopting a new strategy for dealing with a potential second Trump presidency by supporting his populist proposals that align with their goals, such as capping credit card interest rates and tackling corporate monopolies. This approach allows them to claim credit if Trump succeeds or criticize him if he fails to deliver. While they remain opposed to many of Trump's policies, they see an opportunity to influence policy by holding him accountable to his campaign promises that benefit the working class.

The Waning Momentum of the Trump Resistance Movement

The response to Donald Trump's 2024 election victory has been more subdued compared to the massive protests following his 2016 win. Experts suggest this is due to habituation and disillusionment with activism. While some activist groups are adapting their strategies, focusing on local-level training and coalition-building, the overall resistance movement is less mobilized. The upcoming "The People's March" may not match the scale of the 2017 Women's March, reflecting a shift towards targeting specific policies rather than Trumpism as a whole.

Democratic mayors have called for more federal support, and the Biden administration is taking steps toward immigration reform and border security funding. The situation has put Democrats in a difficult position, potentially affecting their stance on immigration ahead of the 2024 elections.
