well, you pointed to acts of terrorism (= violence with a political or religious agenda)

Trump is knowingly acting strictly against the interests of the majority of voters and hence inviting acts of resistance of which terrorism is probably the most extreme

What a curveball you throw... so terrorism is born from the government not bending to the majority?

Well I would like your interpretation of Brazil bailout for gun being like over 70% in favor of gun permit, but still the government gone and made it very very hard and impratical for anyone to have a gun.

actio = reactio is what Newton's third law of motion says and what I think happens in politics a lot aswell

so in my opion if there is a weak reaction, then that means the action wasn't very strong either or for your example, that the population might favor the gun permit, but aren't all too sad/mad with what was installed instead

Trump obviously plans very strong actions and those tend to have strong reactions
