Summary
Following Trump’s re-election, Democratic leaders in blue states are preparing to resist his second-term agenda, focusing on issues like abortion access, immigration, civil rights, and climate action.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a special session to “Trump-proof” the state, while Illinois and Colorado governors launched a coalition to defend state institutions against authoritarianism.
State attorneys general are readying legal challenges, citing a conservative judiciary and a more prepared Trump team.
Democrats also aim to lead grassroots resistance, with activists urging bold state-level protections amid fears of federal overreach.
Is this performative or an actual strategy?
In other words, theatrics with no substance.
Yes. If you’re lucky. If you’re unlucky, it will be theatrics in one direction and substance in the other.
Maybe they’ll sing Imagine.
Edit: Actually since it’s resistance they’ll sing like Tubthumping or something “i get knocked down, but i get up again”
