    there are cracks. The Supreme Court just ruled against Rump again, has approval rating is already diving, Republicans are protesting against rump, there are literally Nationwide protests with tens of thousands of people, and judges all over the country are blocking rump policies.

    there are cracks, don’t pretend here.

      Tiny cracks. No one should get even remotely complacent, either.

      There’s almost zero chance of things not continuing to get much, much worse. But it is non-zero.

        There being cracks is a motivation to act. It’s a point to apply pressure, not a reason to stop

        Things don’t get better by magic, no, they get better when we stand up

        “tiny cracks” like dozens of judges blocking presidential executive orders and blocking administrative Nationwide policy.

        tiny cracks like your own party turning against you, like literally Nationwide protests and civil rights union suing the presidential administration?

        those are not little cracks, and it is ignorant and meaning a few to pretend that they are.

        those Resistance movements are very clear demonstrations that everybody, even the extremists think Trump is harmful.

        no one talked about complacency before you did.

        there are cracks, these are the facts. you don’t have to caution against things that are not happening, you have to recognize what is happening and deal with the reality there.

            You are incorrect. A nationwide movement of judges, lawyers and activists actively halting the President’s will and chosen policy is not a “tiny crack”. Billions of dollars redirected is not a “tiny crack”.

                despite changing the goal posts, you are still incorrect; your uninformed anxiety is why I have to be realistic.
