Most people I know are either organizing to build community resistance or cowering in their homes.

Polling data shows Trump has a roughly 40% approval rating, which is extremely low for a recently-elected president.

The kind of people who respond to polls and the kind of people who have jobs and lives have little overlap, so you know, the polls are kind of not representative of what people feel.

I think a lot of people are expecting the courts to come down on him and stop the worst of it, because they just can't bear to face the truth.

I mean I know how terrible things are but refuse to accept it, either that or I'm numb and hope things will get better.

yeah but the active constant surveillance keeps us from talking with each other about it in public/privately owned buildings/urban areas/in cars/anywhere a phone is present

basically we have to go on camping trips if we want to actually discuss

The phrase "rogue state" to me always just sorta meant "uncooperative with the United States," which the United States can't be. I'm sure there's a more useful definition.

Honestly? I think the US can be uncooperative with itself. At this point, nothing would really surprise me.

It's covered up yeah, most of the republicans are too dumb to realize it.

About half the country is completely checked out of politics, most of them probably know Trump's president, but uh, good luck getting accurate answers about anything else, only 47% of Americans can even name the 3 branches of government we have, so I'm being generous here.

The remaining half is split between people who are aware and people cheering it on.
