President-elect Donald Trump is Time magazine's 2024 'Person of the Year'.
The resisters have stopped resisting.

To celebrate the occasion, the president-elect headed to Wall Street to ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange Thursday morning.
This is the second time the 78-year-old is being named Person of the Year after he also received the title in 2016 after his first presidential election victory.
It comes after Trump dominated headlines this year with his third bid for the White House and decisive win last month.
The president-elect also survived a close assassination attempt in July and became the first U.S. president convicted of a crime in May.
The magazine has been naming a person, group or concept each year since 1927 that had the 'biggest impact—for good or for ill—on the world over the previous 12 months.'
Trump said in his interview that his astounding victory was due to hitting the 'nerve of the country... the country was angry'.
He claimed the country was angry over immigration and argued the border, not the economy, was actually the biggest issue of the election.
Time lauded Trump's 'political rebirth' after his last term 'ended in disgrace' and he was 'shunned by most party officials'.
'On the cusp of his second presidency, all of us—from his most fanatical supporters to his most fervent critics—are living in the Age of Trump,' wrote Time Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs.
'[He] has remade American politics in the process. He won by enlarging his base, seizing the frustration over rising prices and benefiting from a global turn against incumbents,' Jacobs continued.
