The Trump Resistance Is ‘Exhausted,’ Activists Say
As Trump prepares to take office again, his activist opponents are feeling much less energized than last time.
From Breitbart. Leftists who were part of the so-called “Resistance” movement against President-elect Donald Trump in 2016 are now facing a “disillusionment with activism” after the Republican won again this November, political scientists and organizers have realized.

In a Sunday report titled “The Resistance goes quiet,” Axios aimed to explain why the left wing has not erupted into widespread protests like what occurred when Trump beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton eight years ago.
Lisa Mueller, a political science professor at Macalester College, said female Democrat voters are more disappointed than shocked this time around.
“So they didn’t have the same acute trigger to rush to the barricades that they did the first time,” Mueller, who studies social movements, said. “It’s very likely that there is some disillusionment with activism.” …
The Women’s March was one of the most prominent activist groups organizing events and raising money to support causes against Trump during his first term, but its managing director, Tamika Middleton, told Axios they need to find new ways to mobilize people. …
In a recent episode of the New York Times’ “Daily” podcast, titled “From Resistance to Reflection,” Women’s March co-founder Vanessa Wruble said talks of another march event are “not going over real well.” …
According to Middleton, who is still a higher-up within the Women’s March, “the exhaustion is real” among anti-Trump Resistance activists who have now seen him elected twice.

As I sit here smiling at this most awesome headline, I found a perfect scripture and ask for the Lord to continue to bless and reward us ALL according to His Word.
Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting; they remain in their strongholds. Their strength is exhausted; they have become weaklings…. Jeremiah 51
Father, I pray You will continue to exhaust all rebels but don’t leave them exhausted, please bring them into a time of shalom. May this rest bring revelation upon revelation of Truth. I love You Father. I love You Jesus. I love You Holy Spirit….still smiling at Your ingenuity. Amen
LIGHT overcomes darkness! There is no getting around it!
***Psalm 119:130 The unfolding of your words gives LIGHT it gives understanding to the simple.
***The LIGHT is pleasant, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.
***The LIGHT shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
TRUTH sets us free!
***John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free!
***Psalm 25:5 Guide me in your TRUTH and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long!
***Psalm 86:11 Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.
PRAYER; “God, Your presence in our nation is irresistible! We want to make our Founding Fathers proud! Our 250th birthday is coming soon! Let freedom ring! I want to seek You first today. I want Your blessing on our nation! In Jesus name I pray this. Amen.”
Intercessors have been interceding against the powers of darkness behind this misdirected activism. The “process of disillusionment” has been released, assisting people in getting rid of their illusions and starting to consider seeking truth. ”
… grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17)
“Lord, may eyes and hearts open to You and to the gospel of the kingdom. May the restless become free to enter into Your rest. We release better days for the weary in America (Matthew 11:28-30).”
Father, let the River of Your salvation, Your gospel, fall upon this people, especially those who have been actively opposed to justice, righteousness and truth. May Your lovingkindness soften hard hearts. May their eyes be opened to the truth of the gospel. Let them become mighty warriors for Your Kingdom. In Jesus’s Name. Amen.
