      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.

      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
