What is 'The Resistance'? Because intelligence guest on Real Time

[applegrove]

painted it as as extremist on the left as the extreme right wing is on the right. And that sounds like politics to me. Democracy is fighting back and will this be stereotyped as something kooky to keep the centre from signing up to fight corruption and anti democracy republican policies?

1. It is NOT the right

2. Sorry I was not clear. As kooky on the left as the extreme right is on the right.

Like Nazis.

3. I'm not kooky, I'm pissed. I've had it with sitting idly by while that orange

Piece of cancerous shit destroys what my father and others fought for in WWII. I fucking despise what is going on and the tepid response to it. I’m in good company.

5. I know right. Some who commit violence are wrong. But people who care

about their country being Democratic and who don't want a permanent overclass in their country with the ladder being pulled up behind are in no way kooky. I fear this is to be used as a wedge to separate centrists from the rest of liberals. Don't let them own the word 'resistance'.

4. Resist/resistance became a mantra following the election

Like the greenpeace sign that was seen behind the White House before ignoration day. I have a resist sign in my front yard, I see bumper stickers, t-shirts. It’s not extreme left unless you see the ACLU as extreme left, which is where the saying caught.

Bill Maher is a libertarian, now that at least to me is extreme.. at least at times he can be down right caustic
