Thanks Julie for sharing this story. The democrat party has become the anti Trump first and second anti American. Just look at the current anti American candidates running for office all across America . Democrats continue to elect those who publicly hate America, several of which were not even born in our great country. Once Trump leaves office the “resist” will not stop, it will continue until they destroy our country. If America hating candidates continue being elected to higher offices America is destined to fail.
Trump haters & TDS sufferers are different than your typical party spats. The resist party also denigrate & threaten anyone who voted for & supports Trump & MAGA movement.
But, of course, it's not JUST the Demo/Lib/Left/Progressive/Woke/DemSocialist/Antifa/Etcetera who want this country to go into non-existence. It's all of the foreign entities as well, like the state side and foreign born millionaires and billionaires and communist countries and USA allies that run for the hills as soon as they feel like it, THAT ARE CHEERING FOR THE USA to end. And that's until someone like a real "movement" of people who LOVE the USA get some power, like our current governmental power structure of Trump and real PATRIOTS who are speaking up and doing the RIGHT THING for the USA to thrive!
The “Resist” crowd is not defending democracy. It is resisting the consequences of democracy. That distinction matters. If Trump campaigned on enforcing immigration law and voters put him back in office, then ICE doing its job is not fascism. It is the executive branch executing laws Congress passed. The left can oppose the policy, sue over abuses, campaign against it, and try to win the next election. That is constitutional politics. But treating the enforcement of existing law as inherently illegitimate because the policy offends them is not civic virtue. It is a refusal to be governed when they lose.
Eastman’s South Carolina comparison lands because the principle is the same, even if the circumstances are different. A free republic cannot survive if one faction decides that election losses are optional and lawful authority becomes fascism whenever the other side holds it. The Democrat Party spent years normalizing this posture: Russia hysteria, impeachment as theater, lawfare, No Kings rallies, No ICE signs, and celebrity resistance pageants where aging cultural elites congratulate themselves for opposing the voters.
The Deep State-media complex rewards this because resistance is a business model. It turns defeat into martyrdom, law enforcement into tyranny, and ordinary citizens who voted differently into enemies of civilization. No. Elections have consequences. If the left wants different immigration laws, win Congress and change them. Until then, obey the law, respect the result, and stop pretending that losing power is the same thing as living under fascism.
Okay, so Julia Roberts says to inhale and exhale or breath and therefore you will prevail. What the F does that mean? She or they will prevail to live? Their movement will prevail to exist? Their movement of resistance to having a brain that can actually accept AND APPLY common sense and logic will continue or begin to occur? On that last one, I don't believe that EITHER common sense OR logic are part of the make up of these people who are part of this movement.
This "movement" doesn't seem to have much reasoning available. They want what they want and they want it now. To me, that sounds like life according to a 2 or 3 year old and then again for a 12 year old who has no real concept of completing an assigned job like cleaning their bedroom, without pitching a fit!
And it's being lead by, what, actors and vocalists and rock musicians and politicians who get ugly paid for "talent"? So what! They know how to be anything other than what they actually are. Actors F up their actual lives by pretending to be every ordinary person they PORTRAY as many different times as possible. Lawyers lie with outrageous capability. Rock "stars" sing and play about what someone else wrote or they reveal what tribulations they experienced...most of the time. That sounds pretty schizophrenic to me.
So this movement is being lead and nurtured and "prevailing" due to a massive group of people who think that schizophrenic attitude and behavior is "normal"!
My take on the “inhale and exhale”is that it’s a recognition of someone’s emotions being out of control – – i.e. Trump derangement syndrome! And recourse is treatment, not rebellion
Their staged event reminds me of Zoolander 2. Lame' and old. They are bullies. And as we have seen from rioting around the country, bullying can be effective. The truth is that Obama in his first two years had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate and the House. They could have passed anything, but specifically chose NOT TO.
A well articulated piece. I would add only that even our founding fathers, in drafting the declaration of independence (against a sovereign who was not even elected) made it very clear that armed resistance against a government is and should be a rare event and undertaken very reluctantly. The declaration makes clear that there had to be dozens of reasons showing a total contempt for the consent of the governed. That is per se not the case when there has been a real election and debate is allowed.
We all should be aware of how far these people have fallen. Their minds have been truly captured by satan. All of these things say nothing about the rampant corruption and evil in Hollywood. Sad really.
You make many good points Julie, but as they say, it’s complicated. There are several issues that have eclipsed the immigration discussion, and as the crushing of Thomas Massie last month has highlighted, Israeli control of the federal government is one of them. And Donald Trump is an essential part of that sad fact. He and Marco enthusiastically have rendered the First Amendment null and void, in the name of Zionist psychobabble. In fact, it has become apparent to many, especially younger Americans, that Israel is not the ally of the US as we boomers have been conditioned to believe, it is very much the enemy of the US. And in accordance with Article III of our founding document, giving aid and comfort to the enemy of the US is treason. That means virtually all of Congress and the Executive branch are guilty of treason. Donald is not alone, and not the first occupant of the White House to be so.

excellent article....the real question is what are fighting? What are they resisting? How are they resisting? What is their goal? The real problem is that most of these people have no idea? It is obvious that these people react emotionally to things in order to feel good about themselves which in essence, is really rooted in narcissistic greed. The outcome is irrelevant. This is pathognomic of leftist crusades throughout history fueled by classic Marxist Leninist/Islamist opportunists, platitudes and cliches and illustrates why they all end up in death, poverty, destruction, debt and government exploitation.
"Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole."
The resist event was truly sad. I actually feel sorry for these elitists who are so attention grabbing and out of touch with the rest of the nation. I wouldn’t do what they want to do for any amount of money or prestige. Lost souls! And Bette needs to get a life with no singing in it…her voice sounded like Katherine Hepburn’s in On Golden Pond when she points out ‘the loons’! Between Bette and Jane, someone needs to get the cane and pull them off stage before they embarrass themselves any more!

They say they are anti-Trump. But they call Trump all the same things they called every republican since Goldwater.

Agree! I call it jealousy

Julia Roberts is nothing without a script.

I don't get it!

What you wrote makes sense to me.
Sorry, I was not able to watch the videos posted. They were far too repulsive.

Julie, thank you for putting up John Eastman's work when you are otherwise occupied. He is a brilliant patriot,.

Thus resistance is the duty of patriots.
