Overview

• 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.
