“Back in August, a number of Democrats anonymously told Axios that their constituents wanted to see them resisting the Trump administration more forcefully, even if they risked getting physically hurt while doing so. Democrats protesting ICE and comparing them to fascist police forces are working in that environment. I wouldn’t expect that to change. That’s because they view themselves as operating in the tradition of other resistance movements, and are betting that voters will see the masked agents of the state as the aggressors.” (09/24/25)
