He needs to have the most supporters possible to help fight that obstacle.

Hey so let’s not go ham on the pessimism just yet. There’s a lot of things that can go wrong in a lot of places, yes, but we’re seeing a lot of good things so far. Let’s not assume he and the movement he’s starting is gonna fail a priori.

Yes so New Yorkers need to get out there and raise hell if Trump even so much as tries to touch Mamdani. Fail to do that and democracy is well and truly dead.

Depends on the size of the wave behind him. Studies have shown a wall alone isn't as effective at stopping large waves. Now when there are effective and thought out breakers further out, the wave tends to have little effect.

Thankfully, this administration is incompetent. Problem though is the amount of resources they have and a Democratic, and Nationwide resistance, that can't stop eating their boots for failure of any true effectiveness.

We need a leader. Just like the Republicans, we need a person, or person, we can rally behind. Figureheads that stand as tall as Trump. Until then, what we have are several broken fronts working loosely together against a larger, [mostly] coordinated force.

It’s almost like someone needs to do something about that wall. But by all means, keep waiting for someone to come save you.
