    That’s somewhat true, there has been mixed local/state resistance - I was focusing on nationally. I wonder if there’s some pressure being applied behind the scenes to local Dems, fear of retribution, or if it’s mere fecklessness.

    My conspiracy hat suspicions are that Dem leadership is willingly sacrificing our rights/lives and letting things get worse in the hopes of boosting their midterm election chances. Althe answer to that is progressive sweep in the primaries

      Yeah, it’s called the DN fucking C.

      Capitulating to Trump is a party policy
