Progressives are told by Trump supporters to “get over it” and “give him a chance.” But that is asking us to accept the rejection of progressive values such as racial justice, economic justice, women’s and LGBTQ rights, marriage equality, economic equity, and government transparency.
That is moving backward, not forward.
Given Trump’s agenda, which goes against so much of the progressive platform, our response must be resistance and obstruction. Those who voted for Trump either because of, or in spite of, his disrespect for women, minorities and the disabled cannot expect support from those of us who value oneness and love above division and hate. Progressives will resist the Trump government as long as it exists.
