The ‘Resistance’ Won
The much-derided movement was right about Trump’s nature, and how to defeat him.
TL;DR
- Alex Vindman, a key witness in Trump's first impeachment, lost a Democratic Senate primary in Florida.
- Other Democrats who were prominent in Trump's impeachment efforts have also lost primaries this year.
- The string of losses for these 'resistance' candidates suggests a new era in the Democratic Party, where vocal opposition to Trump no longer guarantees success.
- The article argues that the 'resistance' movement was correct in its assessment of Trump's character and actions, accurately describing him as an authoritarian figure and a con man.
- Despite being correct, the methods of the 'resistance,' such as investigations and impeachments, ultimately failed to remove Trump from office or significantly restrain his actions.
- Trump has worked to eliminate potential sources of independence within the federal government during his second term, stacking the Justice Department with loyalists and purging 'woke' officers.
