Indeed. Pathetic.

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

They haven't even arrived at the stadium yet to even swing.

Or they will let Trump burn himself up this round. If they are quiet there’s no obstruction of the agenda? It’s all 🍊🍆
Trump doesn’t get a honeymoon the 2nd time around.
We are all tip toeing around this disaster.
They FEAR Trump & therefore do his bidding.
They need to be removed from Congress by their voters because they do NOT represent The People...only Trump, their rich donors, & themselves.
So MAGAS want to keep their voters uneducated, misinformed, ignorant, & stupid.
They just wrote validated info, their opinions & most of replies for so disgusting. Calling them all kinds of vile names just for stating truth. Rotted minds. I need several showers.

We're genuinely afraid of him. Look what's he done in just a few days. Never mind 4 years. We need more strong people in Congress but looks like fear there too.

He may not be killing people, but sure is destroying a lot w/his purges & firings for no apparent reason. Just b/c he can.
People out of jobs, careers gone. What this does to families.
If mental health bad in country now w/o resources, just wait
WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.
Dems were unable to get us all to work as a group for the election…
Dems are getting destroyed again with absolutely no messaging, no voices taking the lead up front.
They had 3 months to prepare.
This is a failure of leadership.
3rd party time?
You have a literal fascist, criming in broad daylight and its crickets.
Here’s a thought, vote no to EVERY nominee. Introduce legislation even if it doesn’t move forward.
Hold press conferences every day about his failures. FIGHT!
Lacking that, the Dems voting NO to every nominee actually makes the worst nominees look the same as the decent ones.

and it's now acquiescing who knows what kind of data (and "data" is the new oil).

I realize Dems don't have a lot of leverage. Voters need to contact Republican reps and senators in the multitudes. They always hear from MAGA, and everyone else sits and stews.

They were largely baseless claims.
What's going on now, it seems, is a continuation of disregard for the Law and not honoring the Oath taken. I know it wouldn't go anywhere, but should it be documented?
Sure as fuck seems like it.
Are you monitoring each one?
If not, stop the democrats are not doing anything narrative.
Day 12, Trump 2.0:
Russian invasion of Ukraine continues
Egg prices too damn high
Ask Republicans about egg prices!
Trump is playing Whack-a-Mole, a game of chaos.
Different games, different rules.
Is there an alternative - not as a Leader, but as a spokesperson? Would AOC do it? Bennet from Colorado has that ability. Would he be the right person in the Senate?
If Congress is not going to act to defend Americans from Trump's Dictatorial take over of FBI, DOJ & Treasury, maybe yall will act for self-preservation. Once Fed law enforcement is controlled, Trump's FBI & DOJ will then go after Dem members of Congress.

It’s almost as tho they WANT it to get worse
Why? It just makes it so much harder to reverse
Do the Dems want the people to revolt first?
I don’t understand why they don’t do more
What am I missing???

However, Trump & Musk's seizure of high ground may not prove false.
Not one Dem group took it seriously. If they did, they would’ve had time to formulate some sort of plan. That Repubs knew it was coming & Dems didn’t bother to prepare & formulate a counter from day 1 is what bothers me.
I want strength. I want results.
First Buddy: RAWR cancel this, shut down that, light everything on fire, KETAMINE WOOOO
Dems: I released a statement.
They need to get loud, get on social media, go live on TV & yell it to the masses.
We need lawyers suing every day.
We need organizers preparing national work stoppages
Bc blaming the party that’s not in power for all the things done by the party in power doesn’t help anything.
My anger is directed at Republicans.
We can only effect change together. Stay strong 💛

In this case, it’s starting to look like the 80% are capitulators
We’re so screwed
