Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Strikingly, the most abject submission has come from the commanding heights of society. Dean’s list of the acquiescent includes Columbia University (meekly caving in to Trump’s demand of a purge of pro-Palestinian students), the tony law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton &amp; Garrison (which pledged $40 million in pro bono work after Trump threatened to take away their security clearance), and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (who has adopted a strategy of buckling to Trump’s demands, including on occasions when Democrats had the ability to filibuster, as in the budget crisis). Since Dean wrote, the pattern she described has gotten worse, with even more top-tier universities and big law firms bowing and scraping to Trump as if he were an absolute monarch.</p><p>Against this pattern of elite yielding, there’s plenty of evidence that ordinary people are ready to fight. Lawmakers of both parties—but especially Republicans—are terrified to go to town halls lest they be confronted by angry voters asking why they are allowing Donald Trump and Elon Musk to run roughshod over government programs. Earlier this month, massive “hands-off” protests surged through the streets of American cities.</p><p>The difference between the fighting spirit of ordinary Americans and the demoralized complicity of the elite is most visible in the field of education. When ICE agents go after students in elementary and high schools, they often meet a wall of opposition from staff and local residents."</p><p><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/trump-resistance-elite-capitulation/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thenation.com/article/society/</span><span class="invisible">trump-resistance-elite-capitulation/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Universities</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HigherEd</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Immigration</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Deportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deportation</span></a></p>
