The Democrats and their media allies were so shocked at Donald Trump’s Presidential victory, and remain so, that their pattern of contempt, denial, protests, marches, attacks, obstruction and panic has developed its own name – ‘The Resistance‘.

The Resistance‘ is committed to do whatever it can to delay, distract, and defeat every move the Trump Administration tries to make. Certainly not the definition of unity, debate of the issues or compromise.

This plan began immediately after Mr. Trump’s November 8th election and continues with growing momentum on the far left, but, not with mainstream Democrats, with dubious benefit, and, possibly, no broadbased national support.

Here is the running list of actions from ‘The Resistance‘.

      • Shock & Sadness! Election night reaction from the media to Trump’s victory. They had predicted and invested in the election of Hillary Clinton as the 1st woman President.
      • Protests/Riots. Protests against Donald Trump begin nightly in cities throughout the country on November 9th the day following the election.
      • Media bias & panic. A few hours after Trump won the election, here are a few quotes from media personalities.
      • Support for protests. Democrats, Democrat legislators and media operatives cover ad nauseum, justify and cheer Trump election protestors.
      • #AssassinateTrump. The outrage over Trump’s election as the next president of the United States has triggered a swarm of assassination threats on Twitter.
      • Recount. Green Party candidate demands 3 state recounts and pays for them through supposed Green Party donations specifically for the recall.
      • Transition. Obama promised a smooth professional executive transition in public only to inhibit same through action and inaction of bureaucrats.
      • ‘Fake News’. Trump and his allies supposedly used fake news stories about Hillary Clinton to mislead voters.
      • Electors. Democrats and their supporters request, assault & threaten State Electoral College Electors to change their vote from Trump.
      • Executive Orders. President Obama issued executive orders & new regulations to establish firewalls designed to distract the new president upon arrival, having to address the 11th hour orders before getting started with his agenda.
      • Russians did it. The left began and continue to push the narrative that the Russians hacked the election to get Trump to win.
      • Picking fights. President Obama continued his plan to pick fights by imposing sanctions on Russia for supposed computer hacking during the election, forcing Vladimir Putin to say that Russia will consider counter measures. This follows the President’s cheap parting shot at Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel.
      • Trump derangement. Trump is not fit to be President and should be disallowed to be inaugurated via the 25th amendment.
      • Loss of Hope! Michelle Obama tells Oprah this is what the loss of hope feels like.
      • Dossier. A supposed dossier compiled by the intelligence community was presented to Donald Trump and leaked to the media and published by BuzzFeed & CNN. The dossier alleged embarrassing personal details and potentially damaging connections to the Russians.
      • Meryl Streep speech. At the Golden Globes, Meryl Streep while accepting an award gives a prepared speech attacking Trump.
      • Trump is illegitimate. John Lewis, Keith Olberman, and others purported that since Clinton won the popular vote and Trump was deranged he was not a legitimate president.

      • Empty seats. 70 Democrat legislators decide not to attend the inauguration ceremonies in protest to the new President.
      • More protests. After the inauguration, media and liberals downplay crowds, criticize Trump’s speech and display protestors as citizens with legitimate concerns.
      • Women’s March. The Women’s March for Unity the next day was filled with vile speeches against Donald Trump by celebrities and organizers attended by Democrat representatives.
      • Lawsuit. ACLU and others brings suit against the US and President Trump’s temporary immigration order .
      • Insubordination 1. 900 State Department bureaucrats signed a petition saying they will not execute President Trump’s temporary immigration order.
      • Insubordination 2. Acting AG informs Justice Dept not to defend the US against lawsuits stemming from this ‘unconstitutional’ temporary immigration executive order.
      • 10 days. Breaking with historical tradition and basic political etiquette President Obama waits all of 10 days before he criticizes President Trump.
      • Rogue government employees. A ‘rogue’ group of bureaucrats is tweeting secrets from the White House. They refer themselves as “the resistance inside the administration”. Rogue government employees grow representing the 95% that voted for Hillary Clinton and fear ‘draining the swamp’.

      • “Grab Your Wallet”. Left sets up website to boycott companies of Donald Trump. Nordstrom will stop selling Ivanka Trump’s name-branded line of clothing and shoes after a weeks long campaign by activist group known as “Grab Your Wallet”.
      • Debunked. Frequently used term by media to distract from major points made by Trump officials. See Kellyanne Conway use of “Bowling Green Massacre” vs “Bowling Green Terrorists“. Nothing in her point changed by using 1 wrong word, but the attention is being draw away from that point. Same for her use of the term “alternate facts”. This tactic will continue.

      • ‘Deep State’ problems. The Deep State is shorthand for the nexus of secretive intelligence agencies whose leaders and policies are not much affected by changes in the White House or the Congress. While definitions vary, the Deep State includes the CIA, NSA, Defense Intelligence Agency, and components of the State Department, Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, and the armed forces. ‘Deep State’ officials are holding back information and intelligence from the president.
      • Mentally Ill. A recent letter to the editor in this newspaper, signed by 35 psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers.

      • Sanjay Gupta. CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent seems to be joining the resistance. Dr. Gupta has had a daily healthcare minute, A Better Life, on many radio stations around the country for several years now. Usually an interesting and thought provoking healthcare related topic, in 2017 he has turned his program subtly to politics. Recent subjects have included how to handle a narcissist (I wonder who he is talking about?), sexism harms men’s mental health ( again, any suspects?) and teaching kids to spot ‘fake news’ (topical). These 3 came out in the past 10 days. Curious timing.

A massive “People’s Climate Movement” march is being scheduled for April 29th in our nation’s capital.
      • ‘Deep Green’. You have seen references to the “Deep State”, there another group, ‘Deep Green’, made up of scientists, media types, and activists hired as bureaucrats during the Obama years. Their livelihoods depend on the climate gray train that sucks billions from the federal budget. The Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility is a group of government employees resisting the Trump agenda. A leader from this group has publicly said, “We will resist. We will resist in whatever way, shape or form that we can.“
      • Unhinged. Assaults on the White House grounds continue at a somewhat regular pace. A driver near the Capitol rammed her car into police cruisers. The incident near the Capitol comes on the heels of multiple recent cases of people jumping the fence at the White House.On Sunday (3/26), a 38-year-old woman who had tried to jump a White House security fence last week, scaled a fence near the Treasury Building. Secret Service agents arrested her around 2:15 a.m.Earlier this month, a suspect named Jonathan Tuan Tran allegedly scaled two fences and a security gate to get on the White House grounds before he was arrested. Also this month, another man was arrested after jumping over a bike rack in an attempt to surmount the fence, and still another suspect was arrested for allegedly making a false bomb threat at a Secret Service checkpoint.

      • Fake News 3. Syria destroyed its chemical weapons.
      • Forced out. Rep. Devin Nunes, (R-Ca) Chairman of the Intelligence Committee said “left-wing activist groups” filed accusations against him with the Office of Congressional Ethics, and were totally unfounded. Yet, to enable the Russia investigation to move forward unimpeded, he decided to step aside.
