Can The Resistance Reassemble BEFORE The Election
Manage episode 398495435 series 3331012
This week on Politix, Matt and Brian discuss:
* The $83.3 million a New York jury ordered Donald Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll for sexually assaulting then serially defaming her.
* The related GOP freakout that America’s most influential person (Taylor Swift) might not like Republicans very much!
* Why Democratic Party leaders seem uninterested in pressing their “not led by a rapist” advantage.
They also put a pin in the issue of immigration, and the simmering nullification crisis Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) is stoking along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Then, paid subscribers hear a conversation with Leah Greenberg, cofounder of Indivisible, about whether it’s important to mobilize street protests against Donald Trump before the election (like the recent marches against the German far right), and the extent to which policy activism and policymaking contribute to the demobilization of the resistance.
Further reading:
* Dara Lind on how the Senate border security bill won’t actually fix the problem Republicans claim to want to fix.
* Brian on how the judgment in the Carroll case explains Trump’s desperation to run Nikki Haley out of the GOP primary instead of letting her flame out.
* Jonathan Chait on whether the anti-Trump coalition has irretrievably splintered.
