#NotMyPresident

That's one; there are more. And there's a growing consensus that Democrats should give up on the "bipartisan" delusion and stop setting themselves up for failure by "reaching across the aisle" (like Charlie Brown kicking the football Lucy's setting up, how many times do Democrats need that hand spit upon to learn that Republicans consider "bipartisan" a synonym for "Democrats surrender").

In other words, Democrats might learn from the Tea Party how to destroy a Presidency from a position of (apparent) weakness.

I'm coming across the word "resistance" a lot lately, sometimes even "The Resistance" (which Keith Olbermann will soon try to trademark, I'm sure). People are hunkering down for a fight.

One pundit tried for clever equivalency by saying "You guys hated Obama because you're racists, we hate Trump because he's a racist". But I think it runs deeper than that: Nobody had to gin up fear of Trump, like the vast rightwing media conspiracy did with Obama. Trump gave too many people too many real reasons to fear him, straight from the horse's ass-shaped mouth.

Trump's attacking people even before he takes office, but already people are attacking Trump right back. This is going to be a fight.

(Psssst! Here's a Google Doc being circulated called Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda. We've reached the stage of digital samizdat already.)
