Trump’s Second Term Faces Targeted Opposition and Legal Challenges

While less visible than in 2017, a more strategic resistance is emerging to counter Trump’s controversial policies and executive orders.

Liberal groups like Indivisible and the ACLU are already mobilizing lawsuits against Trump’s executive orders, including his attempt to revoke birthright citizenship.
Democratic leaders and attorneys general are vowing to challenge Trump’s policies, though rank-and-file Democratic voters and mainstream media appear less vocal than during his first term.
Key opposition figures are emphasizing targeted local organizing and legal strategies over mass protests to counter Trump’s agenda more effectively.
The second Trump administration is bolstered by a stronger position in Congress and fewer internal dissenters, making resistance efforts more challenging.
A growing ecosystem of anti-Trump media and grassroots networks is working to sustain opposition despite diminished energy from traditional outlets and voters.
