The ‘Resistance’ Is Over
The insurgent left cares more about its own factional agenda than the president’s threats to democracy.
TL;DR
- Democratic primary voters are showing signs of fatigue with the singular focus on Donald Trump, preferring factional politics.
- Stalwart anti-Trump figures have experienced losses in recent primaries, indicating a desire among voters to 'move on'.
- The activist left has sometimes prioritized issues like the Gaza conflict over opposing Trump, potentially impacting election outcomes.
- Insurgent left factions have challenged establishment-backed candidates, prioritizing their own agendas at the risk of general election losses.
- The far-left's strategy relies on convincing centrists that Trump is an urgent threat, even as they argue he is a symptom of deeper issues.
- Centrist Democrats may be unwilling to support radical leftist candidates if they do not perceive Trump as the most pressing danger.
