# New York Times Video mocks Democratic 'resistance' to Trump while warning it didn't work before

## The Opinion section included clips of Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif, chanting "we will win" and "we won't rest" at an event protesting Elon Musk's role in Trump's administration.

The Video began with a voice-over that said, "Democrats, your party leaders have a fool-proof plan to stop Trump by boldly doubling down on everything that has never worked before."

The video, titled "Meanwhile … This Is What the Democrats Are Doing?", then cut to Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif, chanting "we will win" and "we won't rest" at an event protesting Elon Musk's role in Trump's administration.





The video included clips of Americans who voted for Trump and now regret it, saying their support is "ripe for the taking," then showed several examples of liberals yelling at Trump voters and saying, "I told you so."

The compilation included "The View" co-host Ana Navarro, a self-described Republican who has publicly supported Democrats since Trump entered the political scene.





Step one, the video said, is to "rub it in, from the safety of your echo chamber." This portion included former CNN host Don Lemon saying to Trump voters, "Yes, I am gloating over your stupidity."

The video also mocked performances by liberals to counter Trump, as well as those who have simply given up, as other steps.

Towards the end, the video got a bit more serious, warning that by the time the midterms come and Democrats turn from resisting to courting swing voters, "it will be too late."

Democrats will have spent two years rubbing MAGA's faces in the mud, rather than extending a hand, making empty performative gestures instead of offering a coherent message, succumbing to exhaustion instead of mobilizing," the voice-over continued. "Elections are won by peeling off a few swing voters, but the #Resistance pushed them further away."

"It's understandable to feel angry or tired, and it's not easy to take the high road. But remember, your actions now will determine who wins the next election." The video concluded, "Democrats are going to need a better rallying cry than, ‘I told you so.'"





The Times describes its Opinion Video section as "combin original reporting with creative storytelling to produce visually transformative commentary."
