The Resistance (also known as the #Resistance) is an American liberal and left-wing political movement that protested the presidency of Donald Trump.[1][2][3][4] Starting in November 2016, it initially included Democrats before expanding to include Independents and Republicans who opposed Trump. Members have been described as prolific in their use of Twitter, especially the "#Resist" hashtag and, early on, #TheResistance.[5]
