They aren’t “resisting” anything. “Resist” is an invented buzzword they use to make it look and feel like they are the “good” guys. What they are really seeking is what leftists have always sought. The destruction and dismantlement of Western Civilization. To do that, they must first smash the power of those who represent it. What they are really doing is attacking, ripping, and slashing wherever they can.
Isn’t ‘resist’ what communist have historically done?
If they can, they win elections, then move to shut down the election process. If they don’t win the election, they agitate.
Please tell me how the current ‘resist’ movement differs in principle from this principle of communist operations?
Sounds less like resistance and more like anarchism.
Now when the left is no longer in charge, they are anti-government (currently anti-federal) except those that they control (states like California). Whenever they are in power, they use government to enrich their cause taking/using public funds, advance their agenda, spy on, arrest, prosecute, crush any opponents, etc. . .
I would wager that most average people do not know about the history of anarchism in America, and its roots to the left, labor, Dems, and... even (how timely) to Communist/Russia. Hence, many of the “useful idiots” in the resist movement, could not survive in the nightmare that they would wake up in should their cause be successful.
Well, they clearly are resisting the democratic process, as true leftists always do eventually and not just in Western nations. They “resist” accepting the results of an election they don’t like. Donald Trump won the election, and they have been trying to overturn the election ever since. They don’t care what the American people want, because in all leftist societies the people are expected to submit and obey for the supposed greater good.
In the leftist mindset, self-righteous Marxist/”Progressive” elites are the only ones cabable of determining what is best for regular people and for society as a whole. No dissent or difference of opinion is allowed that they personally don’t like (i.e. what they personally deem politically incorrect), only submission—which of course makes their name choice seem ironic.
Are they resisting? Yes, but it’s the acceptance of free elections, free speech, and diversity of opinions that they are resisting. Shutting people up and keeping them in line by any means necessary including (for some) violence seems to be one of the top goals of a sizable chunk of the modern left.
