So what form does the resistance take?

Guys, let theprestige continue to believe that not one single former MAGA Republican is now cheering for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders. For all I care, he could claim that the crowds at the Fighting-Oligarchy rallies are all Antifa, crisis actors and FBI agents.

Not in Portland, OR they're not!
Low approval ratings don't typically result in anti-administration protests. Nobody took to the streets when Biden was polling low.
It's entirely comprehensible to me that such a thing is technically possible. I just don't find it very plausible. I've seen no evidence that these turnout numbers include any significant proportion of disgruntled redcaps.
LOL MSNBC. Likely those "massive crowds" are every single disgruntled blue voter from every single blue urban enclave in the state. You're living in fantasy land if you seriously believe redcaps are going to join with Sanders and AOC over Trump's policies.

LOL, theprestige is living in a fantasy land where MAGA voters cannot possibly regret having actually voted for being impoverished by billionaires when they thought they were voting for the 'elites' being dethroned.
As for 'seen no evidence'. Very few Republicans have the courage to appear in public speaking out against Trump and MAGA.
Senator Sanders' office says of the people who have been RSVPing for these events, yes, most of them are Democrats, but they say 21% of people turning out for these events are independents. And they say 8% of people turning out for these rallies are Republicans. And 8%, I know, 8% sounds like single digits, but 8%, when you're talking about, like, about like 200,000 people they've spoken to at these events thus far, that's saying something.

Is that evidence that Trump voters are supporting AOC and Sanders?
No, of course not.
Does theprestige have evidence that people at Sanders' office are lying about 8% of people at their rallies being Republicans?
No, of course he hasn't.

But while we're waiting for evidence to appear, I can recommend this video:
Chinese TikTokers SCHOOL Trump Supporters About Their OWN Country: “You Guys are Really Dumb” (The Humanist Report on YouTube, April 18, 2025 - 20:22 min.)
The reaction to Trump’s tariffs by Chinese TikTokers triggered the ire of Trump’s supporters, who decided to lash out with vitriolic responses. Unfortunately for Trump’s supporters, it ended in their complete and utter humiliation, as the Chinese TikTokers responded with ruthless humor and facts, but also compassion. In particular, they discussed how Donald Trump is a conman, how his supporters are “really dumb” and propagandized, and how Americans let oligarchs “rob” them and thank them for doing it. In this video we’ll react to the dunkfest and explain how sad it is that Americans don’t already know the things these Chinese TikTokers are trying to teach them.

Those Chinese TikTokers kicking MAGA *** are the most hilarious thing I've watched this month! 🤣

Thank you for the correction. I agree. I was persistently and inexcusably wrong on that point.

But there still needs to be a government order of some kind. Otherwise, how does anyone know when someone is deported?

You're assuming a lot. Things under trump may be very unofficial and haphazard. They may have simply decided to ignore the stay on deportation and thats it.

They may have thrown the guy out of an unmarked helicopter somewhere south of the border and fired a few warning shots to make sure he got the message.

They may have done a lot of things. What are you saying they actually did?

Better yet, what is he saying they actually did? How does he know he's been deported?

They chose to reverse the judge's order to stay deportation. And then they deported him. Pretty simple.

You're saying he's been deported. He's saying he's been deported. How do either of you know he's been deported? You can't find the order. He hasn't produced any such order. How can you condemn a deportation that nobody can show actually took place?

Uh huh...

You're finally starting to ask the right questions! Go find the ruling; then maybe I'll have an opinion and we can debate.

That's convenient. If the ruling that should have been made simply does not exist because ICE short-circuited the process and acted illegally, you exempt yourself from an opinion?
