Maddow: It’s Now Established that ‘Sucking up’ to Trump Is ‘Shameful,’ ‘Weak,’ and ‘Marks You as Loser’

EXCERPT:

MADDOW: “Culturally, it is now firmly established that capitulation and sucking up to Trump is shameful and weak and marks you as a loser. Conversely, I think it is culturally ingrained now that saying no to Trump and fighting him and standing up to him shows that you are strong and a winner, and somebody who other people might be interested in. The superabundance of court rulings against Trump will continue. I think that will help. Bottom line, I think as long as the movement against him stays nonviolent, the movement against him wins. I think Republicans in elected office at every level will face unrelenting and increasing pressure to split from Trump on his almost unbelievably unpopular policies, everything from tariffs to cutting Medicaid, to what he’s doing to Social Security, to his treatment of Ukraine, to medical research, to Meals on Wheels to Head Start, all of it. Republicans will be under unrelenting and increasing pressure to split from him on basically every policy with which he is associated. And yes, that includes immigration. And yes, that includes his abuse of trans people."
