The Resistance (American political movement)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Resistance (also known as the #Resistance) is an American liberal political movement that protested the presidency of Donald Trump, starting in November 2016.[1][2][3][4] It later expanded to include not only Democrats, but Independents and Republicans who opposed Trump. Members have been described as prolific in their use of Twitter, especially the "#Resist" hashtag and, early on, #TheResistance.[5] Some conservatives and Trump supporters have adopted the Resistance moniker to oppose President Joe Biden.[citation needed]
