I have seen the current US sitiatuation be described many times as a unstoppable force (Trump) going against every law and institution, but they are characterized as unmovable, because they refuse to exert resistance to Trump advances.

Edit: a random blog using this metaphor before the election. https://yaschamounk.substack.com/p/the-danger-to-american-democracy

This is soo politically charged that can’t be seen as political anymore.
