Power Presidency: Macy Balloon and Trump Years

power presidency: I say this not just as someone moved by any political activity that looks beyond casting a vote, according to Rabble. Impressive because they have already answered a question that hung in the air once the result was known What kind of opposition or resistance makes sense for the Trump years ahead That question floated up instantly, like a Macy balloon, because Trump forces now control all the levers of formal political power presidency, congress and courts. Imagine what will happen when he does. His cabinet -- Giuliani, Christie, Newt -- will be even more of a clown car than the Republican primaries. The only answer I can think of is a popular resistance movement coming from the ground up, mobilizing huge, diverse numbers in the streets and ready to engage -- this is crucial -- non-violently, in civil disobedience, if necessary. Theyll have the means to roll back every advance in minority rights, abortion rights, gender rights, health care, climate change -- with nothing in the formal political processes to hinder them.
