  • All leaders have to care about the people’s will. Their personal opinions don’t matter. They can’t stay in power without a base of support.

    The protesters have drawn attention, created difficult situations for ICE, and even sacrificed their lives to harm the administration’s PR. They are directly responsible for the shift in swing voter sentiment. The resistance is working. Maybe not as well as we would like but it is helping.

    That said, if they actually pull out of Minneapolis as news reports were indicating, I think this is a huge defeat for the Trump administration. I’m sure they will try to come up with a new plan as you say but it’s still a big tactical win to defeat this particular strategy since I think it was pretty clear and easy how it was going to work.
