Gene Sharp taught that to fight dictatorship you need to identify its pillars of support.
Right now the main pillar of support for the nascent MAGA dictatorship is the false narrative that America "shifted" to the right in this election and gave Trump a mandate.
Stop believing and repeating it.

This is resistance. This is not obeying the illegitimate dictatorship in advance, unlike @JoeBiden & Merrick Garland dropping federal prosecution of Trump, which no Constitutional provision requires them to do.

The programs highlighted in this WP report are not necessarily high priorities for demolition by Trump, but they are vulnerable under the slogan of "defunding programs that Congress no longer authorizes." Turns out our government has been held together with ductape, string and good faith.

Every time they show a picture of this guy with his shirt on, they are hiding the truth.
"his nomination's viability" depends on whether the Senate, Democrats included, rolls over and lets Trump push this putz in. Which may also depend on whether we do too.

Trump's nominees for Justice & Defense are the most dangerous to democracy. Matt Gaetz for AG means he intends to use the DoJ as his weapon, and is naming a disgraced national clown to be his yes-man. Hegseth's mission is to fire the generals & replace them with willing tools.
