This is what I wrote in December 2024 and what I continue to believe today. Trump is a bully and bullies prey on the weak. They understand the power of fear and exploit it. Capitulating to Trump makes you more vulnerable, not less. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/now-...

While it is understandable to focus attention on Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law, we must not lose sight of the fact that it is the Republican Congress enabling his authoritarianism. Ignoring their complicity in Trump’s actions is a mistake—both legally and strategically.
