Summary

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is organizing grassroots events to oppose Trumpā€™s policies, arguing that ā€œTrumpism does not believe in democracy.ā€

In an op-ed, Sanders criticized Trumpā€™s ties to Elon Musk, federal budget cuts, and media influence, warning of authoritarianism.

He cited Trumpā€™s recent post likening himself to Napoleon and accused him of disregarding the rule of law.

The White House dismissed Sandersā€™ concerns, accusing Democrats of authoritarian tactics.

    I simply wonder whatā€™s happening and expressing my frustration.

    No question - itā€™s good he is mobilizing people. Organization is key, and to me it looks like itā€™s currently lacking. I really hope Sanders can change this.

    It has been damn obvious and yet way too many people voted Trump. And, come on, it was clear Elon would be there as well. From outside the US itā€™s hard to understand why. It leaves me with two explanations, both of which I donā€™t like: either people were misinformed and/or did not understand what is going on, or they did really want it.

    Maybe you can help me understand.
