Donald Trump’s return to power is marked by a strategy of “shock and awe,” a calculated attempt to demoralize his opposition. His “dictator on day one” Executive Orders included revoking birthright citizenship, dismantling protections for seniors’ prescription drug costs, mass deportations, and the laughable “Gulf of America.”
These measures are not just bad policies; they are an assault against the principles of justice, equality, and inclusion, values that define who we are. Trump’s aim is clear: to overwhelm us, to crush our spirits, and to erode our resolve.
But despair is a privilege we cannot afford. Surrendering to hopelessness is tantamount to handing Trump the victory he seeks. History has shown us that oppressive regimes thrive when opposition falters. Trump’s billionaire agenda thrives on our silence, our fatigue, inaction and resignation, hoping to leave us too exhausted to resist.
Instead, we must meet his agenda with relentless resistance. Every rollback of human rights, every attack on the vulnerable, and every erosion of democracy must be countered with unified action. Every voice raised, every protest staged, and every act of solidarity chips away at the foundations of his agenda. The values of justice and inclusion are not abstract ideals—they are the foundation of a society worth fighting for.
Trump’s ultimate goal is to extinguish hope, but hope is the lifeblood of democracy. Our strength lies in our collective determination, in refusing to be silenced. By refusing to yield, we not only defend our values—we send a clear message that the fight for justice is far from over.
When we refuse to give up hope, we deny Trump the power he craves. The fight for justice is not easy, but it is necessary. We are the opposition, and we will not back down. Together, we can resist and rebuild a future where justice and equality prevail.
