25 Ways I Resolve to Resist in 2025

25 Ways I Resolve to Resist in 2025

Editor: I’ve been told that a majority of voters elected Trump in 2024, but that doesn’t mean I agree with the results; and I know there are millions more just like Cate and Calamity who will continue the Resistance campaign against Trump and the big money funding until this abomination to our constitution can be brought under control.  Fuck the oligarchs. Fuck Citizen’s United. Fuck the Project 2025 agenda.

Resolute in Resolution

This year my New Year’s resolutions involve resisting the threat to our democracy because, “when we fight, we win.” We can still wish one another a happy New Year, despite the impending doom. I will not watch the inauguration – instead I will scrub my toilet and scoop my cat’s litter box. I pray a fervent prayer for peace and a miracle to occur to prevent “The Donald” from taking office. President Biden has promised to not pardon the orange-haired monster. Will VP Harris refuse to certify the convicted felon’s election because of January 6th? I hope so; but I know she will do what she is supposed to do, perform the ceremony.

Do the Right Thing, Not Right Wing…

First, starting from within, I resolve to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as exercise more often; I never make a resolution to lose weight. I will continue to be kind hearted but set boundaries. I resolve to adopt a resilient attitude and not let malicious words hurt me. I will keep a stiff upper lip while remaining compassionate. I resolve to practice forgiveness and hope to be forgiven in return. I will concentrate on my loved ones and furbabies, not those that I barely tolerate. I will strive to be a ray of sunshine, but I shall scream when faced with adversity because a good loud yell is sometimes the answer to challenges. I intend to pray even more and trust God’s promises.

Resolve to Resist

I resolve to prioritize self care in the coming months because self care is not selfish, it is imperative as we face the stressful and frightening times ahead with a second term of Trump. I have not forgot his first term and the problems that are still arising four years later due to his mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic and building of the border wall, just to name a couple of his horrific faux pas. We must move forward, soldier on, difficult though it may seem. Here are my resolutions for 2025:

1. I resolve again to never call Donald Trump, “President”.
2. I resolve again to never call Melania Trump, “First Lady” because she is no lady.
3. I resolve to resist at every opportunity.
4. I resolve to wear pearls daily, and Chucks for Kamala Harris often, not just on “Inauguration Day”.
5. I resolve to take a stand for human rights, because, “when we fight, we win”…
6. I resolve to stand against racism.
7. I resolve to take a stand for women’s rights.
8. I resolve to take a stand for LGBTQ rights.
9. I resolve to take a stand for dreamers’ rights.
10. I resolve to take a stand for immigrants rights, because, “when we fight, we win”…
11. I resolve to take a stand for our democracy.
12. I resolve to take a stand against dictators.
13. I resolve to take a strong stand against Donald Trump and JD Vance.
14. I resolve that I will post and write against the Republican extremist regime.
15. I resolve to join in peaceful protests against Trump and his minions, because, “when we fight, we win”…
16. I resolve to be a light in the darkness that threatens our freedom.
17. I resolve to put my faith in God, not in an anti-Christ like Donald Trump.
18. I resolve to stop doing business with those supporting MAGA conservatives.
19. I resolve to resist Elon Musk and all the others that are pulling Trump’s strings.
20. I resolve to continue to question the election results, because, “when we fight, we win”…
21. I resolve to also continue to question the alleged “assassination” attempts on Donald Trump in Butler PA and the golf course.
22. I resolve to vote for Democrats to take back the house and Senate in 2026.
23. I resolve to say, “I told you so”, to those that voted for Trump when food prices don’t go down and tariffs make prices unaffordable.
24. I resolve to take a stand against Putin and all the dictators worldwide.
25. My new years resolutions for 2025 must include resisting Project 2025, because, “when we fight, we win”…

Stay Strong and Positive

Let’s face the coming days ahead with optimism, building each other up, not tearing each other down. I will face the year embracing self love and trusting my heavenly Father.

I dedicate this article to a true man of God and a sincere humanitarian, President Jimmy Carter.  I had the extreme pleasure of seeing him in person twice, and the humble honor of him being the first person I ever voted for. Rest in peace to a real servant of the people…
