TL;DR: What people have done so far is commendable, but the only way a movement to resist Trump will succeed is if organizers and activists get serious about thinking long-term and putting deep consideration into any given action. Otherwise, we're going to waste energy and run out of gas.

Note to resistance: getting what you want requires threats of violence if our needs are not met, which means owning and regularly training with firearms and confronting police with peaceful armed protests in overwhelming numbers.

Otherwise you might as well finger waggle at them for being naughty meanies. They won't respect you and you get nothing.
