Trump's Autocracy Faces Growing Resistance | JQJO

During his first 100 days, President Trump's actions prompted widespread anticipatory compliance from various institutions, including universities, corporations, and media outlets, fearing repercussions from withholding federal funds or facing legal challenges. This compliance, however, paves the way for autocracy. Examples include universities censoring coursework, companies scaling back DEI programs, and law firms providing pro bono work. However, a growing resistance, including legal challenges, consumer boycotts, and mass demonstrations, is emerging as anticipatory non-compliance, signaling a fight against Trump's autocratic tendencies.
