What are they supposed to do? Kill trump? I guess they could take out the supreme Court while they are rampaging. This isn’t an Arnold Shwartzenegger movie.
They shut down the government. The absolute nuclear option. They used the last bit of power our government affords them.

I mean, yeah? Every day they waltz into a room full of genocidal maniacs wielding the world’s most powerful military and most widespread surveillance networks - a room which I would be immediately attracting suspicion by just attempting to enter. These power-hungry maniacs are laughing in our face because they know people will shrug and roll over as they write the “Keep Power Forever” bill.
I know most people will roll their eyes at this, but think for a second – our laws have been overturned, our way of life has been destroyed. We’re living in the husk of a society that is literally being bulldozed, and you expect poor, disabled, and otherwise vulnerable USAmericans to shrug and say “well they can’t legally do anything”? While our lives are destroyed?
The truth is, Democrats’ real chance to stop this was in the decades before, during which they deliberately did not act, with leadership and politicians alike choosing to enrich themselves by bending to corporations; allowing the standard of living in this country to become absurdly intolerable; fostering wealth inequality worse than that of pre-Revolution France; watching us die while keeping this dog-and-pony show going to keep us all distracted.
are the democrats going to do anything or continue to fucking sit on their hands and point at pieces of paper as to why they can’t do anything

Democrats will not stop this. They had their chance and did nothing.
It’s up to us to save ourselves.
