Summary

A genuine backlash to Trump’s ethno-nationalist authoritarianism may be starting to take shape on its own terms.

The Washington Post-ABC News poll shows “Trump slipping underwater on immigration, which has been his best issue,” with 56% of independents disapproving of his handling.

Trump’s lawlessness across the board is clearly a problem, reinforcing the view he’s engaged in rampant extralegal abuses of power.

      I see a call to action in the statement.

      We won’t allow this to happen. You’re normalizing the outrageous.

      To me that sounds like we won’t let it happen, but there’s no further explanation of how. So I’ll ask you directly, do you have some suggestions on how we’ll not let that happen?
