'Like a dishonorable surrender': Columnist shames left for meek response to Trump win
Raw StoryDonald Trump's opponents were reprimanded Monday for meeting his election victory with a seemingly quiet resignation. Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid wrote the anti-Trump "resistance" needs to awaken — and not roll over and accept what's coming. Hamid questioned the "sudden softening" of many Democrats who have gone quiet over the threat that Trump poses to American democracy, He shamed the hyperbole Democrats used during the 2024 election cycle that now "appear strangely subdued." We’re tired of doing the same thing over and over.” There's a fear that protests won't work, continues Hamid, and the power of the people isn't "powerful" anymore. "That’s the more difficult work, since there will be no immediate gratification to be found," Hamid wrote.
