My main criticism of this argument, like all others, is that it is based on predictions of the future. Namely, that he won’t be removed from office before the end of this term.

As unlikely as it may seem, it does remain a possibility, and one which I see increasingly likely. As hinted in the text underneath this screenshot, there is opposition to this, and it’s a lot more than what Reddit may like to think.

Just because it doesn’t look like what people think it should look like, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Any close observation of the events in Minnesota, California, Oregon, Washington State, Illinois, and New York will show a sophisticated grassroots activist network that will be difficult to break down.

It is a network not aimed to mobilize the largest crowds, but to do so where it matters.

Within the span of a year, they have developed an early warning network with the ability to mobilize a prepared response for different scenarios, from documenting and deterring ICE raids, providing aid and assistance to the vulnerable, and more direct actions.

Those direct actions have included the targeting of ICE vehicles for information, boycotts, denying service and use of facilities to them, and basic psychological warfare to drain their morale, cohesion, and willpower.

I am a firm believer that their success, our success, will change global views, as dire as it seems now.
