At first no one took Trump seriously either, and like Yang today, Trump simply proved the doubters wrong day after day, week after week and month after month, until Trump ultimately found himself sitting in the Oval Office. Is Yang on a similar trajectory today?

Regardless of the fact that his fellow Republicans overwhelmingly support the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, Trump has made noises of threatening to veto the bill when it reaches his desk. His rationale is less than compelling.

If House Democrats can hold up, and find even a few more compelling witnesses to put in front of the American people to move public opinion further in their direction (and therefore pressure Republicans to move off their absolutist, "defend-Trump-at-all-costs" position and consider joining the rational process), the better off we all could be.

I apologize for my enthusiasm in believing that our progressive might could have made a real difference in this case.

Apparently, the collective willpower of American progressives has finally paid off. Chick Fil A's move certainly angered those on the right who approved of the company's previous stances. And they were quick to point to the progressive boycott as the culprit.
