      2. Yet beneath the co-option of The Resistance slogan by Dem Elite (& also Never Trump people) is genuine mass mobilization from below.

      3. If there is core emotion to Resistance, its realization that all elite institutions (both parties, media, etc.) have failed to stop Trump

      4. "No one can save us but ourselves": which means Resistance is not just to Trump but also to those who enable him in GOP & Dem parties.

          5. In moments of weakness people do buckle under & look for magic bullet solutions: electoral college, Deep State, Javanka, "the adults"

          6. "No one will save us but ourselves" is hard lesson & its easy to see why flights of fantasy (imminent impeachment over Russia) take hold

          Mass mobilization on left is not simply about "saving us from Trump." Anti-Trumpism is a limited, narrow & temporary organizational theme.

          I worry that if (BIG if) Dems get House &/or Senate they won't Impeach & remove.
