Dejected Democrats have not mustered up the same resistance to President-elect Trump ’s second term as eight years ago .

In the immediate aftermath of the election, many Democratic activists took to social media to reject any form of protest or march against Trump .

“I do plan on working to ensure Democrats are heard, but honestly, I'm still too despondent at the moment,” said Kassel Coover , a Pennsylvania Democrat .

Organizers of the progressive group Indivisible pushed back against a narrative that Democrats are giving up on the fight against Trump .

The group was formed after Trump ’s first election when a small group of former congressional staffers shared a crowdsourced anti-Trump guide.

Some Democratic leaders in solidly blue states have indicated they will use their powers to flout any actions from Trump they deem a threat to Democracy.

But ultimately, Democrats concede that they’ll have to shed the perception they are out of touch elitists.
