A Groundswell of Opposition Grows Against Trump's Regime
As it stands now, Arwa Mahdawi's assertion that there is no opposition to Donald Trump seems laughable. The sheer scale of protests against his presidency reveals a far more nuanced reality. On October 18th, an estimated 7 million people participated in 'No Kings' demonstrations across 2,700 locations throughout the US.
Eyewitness accounts paint a picture of widespread discontent with Trump's lawless actions. In Baltimore, hundreds of thousands of people take to the streets daily, voicing their disapproval. At one busy intersection, 60 friends and neighbors joined together to wave signs in support, while passing motorists showed solidarity by honking their horns.
The financial backing of this opposition is substantial. Thousands of Americans are contributing financially to advocacy groups that are bringing hundreds of lawsuits against Trump's regime for its numerous infringements on the law. It appears that many Americans have grown tired of waiting for the Democratic Party to intervene and have taken matters into their own hands.
As Linda Rabben, a resident of Baltimore, so eloquently puts it, "we can't wait for the Democratic party to save us from tyranny; we must save ourselves." The growing mass-opposition movement is a testament to the vitality of dissent in America.

7 million people against 1 (Trump)

This is awesome, people are finally speaking out against Trump's crazy decisions 
. I'm so glad to see a sea of red flags waving everywhere, it's like the whole country is saying "NO" at once! 
It's not just some fringe group either, we're talking about millions of people from all walks of life who are fed up with his BS.
. The Democratic party has been MIA for too long, so it's great to see the people taking matters into their own hands. I mean, who needs politicians when you've got your community and a good old-fashioned protest? 
7 million ppl marching together is a big deal, btw! it shows that there's still a lot of good people in this country who care about justice & equality 
i love that americans are taking matters into their own hands and not waiting for the democrats to step up... it's time for some real change 
. And it's not just the Democrats who are against him, it's regular people from all walks of life who are speaking out 
.
. I mean, Trump's got some serious resources and connections that can't be easily overcome 
?
. We need more of that kind of passion and activism in the world 
.
. And you know what's even crazier? All these little acts of defiance, like people waving signs at each other in their neighborhoods 
. Not waiting for the Democrats or anyone else to save them, they're just getting on with it 
. We need more people like that, you know? The system can only hold so much, and if this keeps up, something big is gonna happen 
! But seriously, what's really interesting is that this grassroots movement isn't just about protesting; it's also about taking action and holding Trump accountable for his actions 
.
. The fact that Americans are taking matters into their own hands and contributing financially to advocacy groups is super inspiring 
. And who knows, maybe this mass-opposition movement will lead to some real positive change? Fingers crossed! 
it's like ppl r saying "enough is enough" & i cant blame them!!! 
. But hey, atleast its good to see ppl standin up for what they believe in 
but seriously, it's awesome to see ppl takin matters into their own hands 
. And I love what Linda Rabben said, we shouldn't wait for others to save us, we gotta take action ourselves 
. and i love how linda rabben put it so perfectly - "we can't wait for the Democratic party to save us from tyranny; we must save ourselves" 
. I'm not surprised, though - we've been hearing about this resistance for a while now... my grandpa always said the American people can't be silenced 
. 7 million protesting in one day? That's a pretty low turnout considering how polarized America is right now 
. Not exactly the average Joe taking a stand 
. I mean, if we can't trust them to save us from Trump's rule, then who is?
