The Resistance: People Really Are Against Trump and the Republican Agenda

from MOMocrats · host MOMocrats

Four million people took to the streets the day after Donald Trump's inauguration to protest his dangerous, dark vision of the world - which is not rooted in reality. He repeats the fearmongering, cherry-picked statistics he hears about on Fox News and talks of carnage in our cities' streets - while - aside from a small uptick in some areas - the actual crime rate in the United States is the lowest it has been in decades. The protests against the team in the White House has continued and expanded to Congress. Thanks to guides like the one put out by Indivisible, citizens are taking a leaf from the Tea Party playbook that allowed a small, vocal minority to sway public opinion to oppose Obama's healthcare reform. Ironically, legislators holding town halls this year are hearing the other side from people who - now insured - do not want their healthcare taken away. Only this time, the people who are becoming active in politics represent a wider swath of the population. MOMocrats Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills discuss with guest Aliza Worthington.Follow us on [email protected]@[email protected]
