This essay suggests Democrats are still just as anti-Trump, anti-MAGA as ever but are just weary of fighting the battle. They're tired. And that's why they aren't as loud and noisy as they were in 2016. They are already speculating that the planned D.C. demonstration opposing Trump's inauguration next month won't be anywhere nearly as well attended as it was in 2017.

‘We’re still in this fight’: the resistance to Trump considers its options after bruising election defeat

Demoralized but unbowed, the opposition ponders its next move as Trump prepares to re-enter the White House

But I wonder.

Is it possible at least some in the TDS crowd, some who have been diehard Democrat supporters, are wishing their party proposed real solutions to problems and issues important to people as the MAGA agenda does?

Is it possible at least some never Trumpers are wishing their party had the positive enthusiasm and real joy in an agenda that is good for America and Americans?

Is it possible that at least some of the hardcore anti-Trump people are taking a second look and realizing how wrong they have been about him and his agenda?
 
January is a long ways away from way back in the way ... 7 weeks and a few days from now. Not sure what you are misunderstanding - yet again.

Protests against Donald Trump have occurred in the United States and internationally since his entry into the 2016 presidential campaign. Protests have expressed opposition to Trump's campaign rhetoric, his electoral win, his first inauguration, his alleged history of sexual misconduct and various presidential actions, most notably his travel ban in 2017 and aggressive family separation policy in 2018. Some protests have taken the form of walk-outs, business closures, and petitions as well as rallies, demonstrations, and marches. While most protests have been peaceful,[12] actionable conduct such as vandalism and assaults on Trump supporters has occurred.[13][14] Some protesters have been criminally charged with rioting.[15] The largest organized protest against Trump was the day after his first inauguration; millions protested on January 21, 2017, during the Women's March, with each individual city's protest taken into consideration, makes it the largest single-day protest in the history of the United States

Oh yeah, and the protest was peaceful. Not like Jan 6, 2021.
 
Hard to say. Who knows what will happen once Trump's 2nd term is over and he isn't a force to be reckoned with. Right now, I see the DNP as a rudderless ship with nobody at the wheel setting a course. But I suspect that will change, maybe somebody emerges over the next few years to take command or tries to. Will that person be a person that tries to steer the democrats back to the middle? Boy howdy, that will be one hell of a fight cuz the Far Left will not go away quietly. Or will that person be another Far Left loon that pretty much continues the fight for their agenda?

It might be that the democrats won't moderate their positions on several issues until they get a royal ass-whipping in 2026 and 2028, and maybe 2030. But what if there's no ass-whipping? Then I doubt anything will change on their side. IMHO, so much depends on the relative success of the Trump policies, which of course the democrats will try to torpedo as much and as often as they can, and possibly with a little help from RINOs in the GOP. Especially on the economy and other domestic issues.

Possible, yes. Much depends on the economic success or failure over the next 4 years.


Is it possible at least some never Trumpers are wishing their party had the positive enthusiasm and real joy in an agenda that is good for America and Americans?

I think there are quite a few TDSers who sincerely believe that their agenda IS good for America and all Americans. Frankly, I don't see those people changing their minds, ever. But other democrats might be more amenable to more moderate stances on some domestic issues.


Is it possible that at least some of the hardcore anti-Trump people are taking a second look and realizing how wrong they have been about him and his agenda?

LOL, I don't think so. Hardcore TDSers will go to their graves first.

Nobody was firing rubber bullets and flash grenades into that crowd as they were on Jan 6, 2021. If they had it likely would not have been at all peaceful.

Now perhaps you would like to address the OP or are you here just to troll?

Hopefully the committed ones have left the country or checked into an insane asylum.
 
The DEI and so many other things like Trump getting more than 25% of the black male vote and the illegals turned out to be useless to their voting power so...

the democrats are rethinking their agenda.

Who's Nobody? Does he have a first or second name? Is Nobody still above the law?

they are regrouping
 
Jan 6th was peaceful, except for the FBI, BLM, and ANTIFA agitators who were mostly unsuccessful.
Nope. They did their job well.

The CIA planned for every scenario.

If they were able to draw Trump supporters inside the Capital, they planned on picking a fight with them causing a panic, if not a riot.
If they weren't able to draw Trump supporters inside, they had enough people brought in on buses to make it look like only a few dozen or so people committed criminal acts.
If none of this worked, they set explosive devices around Washington to make it look like Trump was involved in insurrection, by tying him in with Q or some other Neo-con assholes.

One or two or so may leave the country. Ellen Degeneres says she and her partner are leaving and never coming back. Most of those who threatened to leave if Trump won won't leave of course. I wish they would. Have to say the insane asylum is way too optimistic though. Those afflicted with TDS think they are the ones who are clear thinking and not crazy.

For sure they will characterize the slightest delay, disappointment or misstep on the part of Trump and/or his team as ABJECT FAILURE while ignoring or denying what will no doubt be successes.

But I am more interested in those who might have a change of heart and those who might be intellectually honest enough to be envious of the MAGA agenda and its real chance to make a positive difference. They might be envious of those who have hope in good things happening instead of being stuck with indefensible policies, nothing happening to be proud of, and diverting attention from that with dishonest TDS.
 
They’re just resting up, strategizing and reloading for their next round of mostly peaceful protests.
I hope you're wrong. I think Trump figures he has nothing to lose this time to demand governors put down those 'mostly peaceful protests' that are not peaceful at all or else incur serious consequences. Trying to work with Democrats unwilling to compromise on anything didn't work in his first term. I think he won't be so conciliatory this time.

If I had the opportunity, I would move back to Germany in a heartbeat.
Then I wouldn't have to deal with the crap that's coming to America.

I'd go Volksmarching every weekend,

No? Ray Epps was FBI
ANTIFA and BLM counter protest everywhere Trump appears.

Yes, I should of also mentioned the CIA, or the Dan Bongino show.
