"I don't think American people are really interested in what their government is doing. I also don't think American people can stop their government." (At 0:44.)
One main feature of our government from its founding has been our ability to change it. But a strong majority is required, and something strange is happening in that I don't see a majority bubbling to the surface and objecting to Trump's agenda. I don't know if it's fear, apathy, ignorance or that a true majority actually understands and agrees with these changes.
The first opportunity for change is the courts. That method has been underutilized and has yielded mixed results so far.
The next opportunity is the house and the '26 election. Our opposition voice must start now if we are to have a chance there.
But, we need an opposition to take the lead and give us an institution we can rally behind and build a critical mass. Standing up for what's right at an individual level won't cut it. The longer opposition to Trump stays as silent as it has been over the last 45 days, the worse things will get, and the harder it will be to stall this Nazi agenda.
