I believe the good Americans will overcome. I love seeing pissed off Americans showing up to the fight in increasing numbers. I think too many of them still believe that the midterms are going to save them, or that they can rely on legal or democratic systems that have been systematically undermined.
But I see that the Trump administration does not make any decisions to try and grow their support at all. They are moving too fast and too aggressively, probably because they need to destroy the democratic institutions in less than 2 years, so they are pulling out all the stops. They learned from the first term and they believe they have to move faster but that speed is also working against them, because it doesn’t allow breathing space during which the electorate can be propagandized and during which they can forget. If they move fast their opposition will learn to move fast as well.
