I'm honestly pissed at progressive groups. The 2024 elections should have been a jaw dropping moment for them. Eight years of #resistance resulted not only in a Trump victory, but MAGA as a whole being more popular than ever.

Instead their response seems to simply be to deploy a tweaked version of the 2017 playbook with Elon as public enemy #1 instead of Trump. I'm extremely skeptical it's gonna work.

I feel that these groups suck all the oxygen out of the room, and prevent an effective opposition strategy from forming.
