Why the #Resist movement has it completely wrong

Since President Trump’s election the progressives in the USA have decided that they are “the Resistance.” Everywhere we look on social media we see the #Resist banner. From the virtue-signaling Hollywood celebrity to every leftist, tenured university professor, they have proudly declared themselves members of “the Resistance” club.

But what exactly is this resistance? What does it stand for?

These latte revolutionaries believe they are still fighting the 1960’s “revolution” for freedom and liberty, but over the last fifty years leftist/cultural Marxist group-think has taken over and infiltrated literally every aspect of society. That revolution was, in many ways, already won years ago and yet, they continue to fight on because for the left it won’t be enough until every single one of us thinks exactly like them.

The reality is that the #Resist movement is not the counter-culture that they think they are. They actually represent the status quo, and are supporters of the Establishment itself. They are happy to wrap themselves in the conceit that they are like some kind of Second World War resistance movement fighting evil fascists. The very word resistance implies an embattled underground group resisting an occupying, ruthless enemy.
