I blame the useless opposition party that refused to fight to fill the vacant SCOTUS vacancies, fight the gerrymandering, or really act like they thought Trump was an existential threat.

You can't vote for what's not on the ballot and even now, the party I'd mostly useless.


I think Trump and the machine behind him is an existential threat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment

I agree; but you wouldn't come to that conclusion based on what the Democrats are actually doing about it. The Democrats are just so corrupt and bought that they show few signs that they'll ever properly reverse any of this stuff even if they do get back into power.

There's a bunch of stuff that they could have done to make it at least somewhat more of a challenge for Trump and the GOP to do this stuff. Things like fighting against the gerrymandering, fighting to get court seats filled, actually having a competitive primary to get the strongest possible candidate to go up against Trump in the election.

They didn't do any of it, and since he took office, they've been particularly feckless with Schumer voting to end debate on the BBB in exchange for absolutely nothing.

Yes, Schumer is a waste of space, and the sooner he's replaced by someone more concerned with governing the country rather than keeping his position the better we'll all be.
But the Democrats are just as corrupt as the republicans? Examples, please. I don't see the left cutting off people's lifeline in order to give oligarchs a tax break. I don't see them defying the courts, or associating with religious grifters and bigots. No, the Dems aren't perfect, but they can be counted on to provide a social safety net to those in need, and for expanding rights to everyone no matter how unpopular of a minority they might be.

"Accused of acting like a ‘dictator,’ Trump offers an unsettling response"

Quote:
At a White House event last week, Donald Trump asked Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan, how long he’s been in power. Aliyev, who’s long been repeatedly accused by international observers of being a dictator, replied, “It’s been 22 years.”

The American president, clearly impressed, said, “Twenty-two years, that’s pretty good.” At that point, Trump turned to attendees and added, “That means he’s tough and smart.”

It was a timely reminder: The Republican doesn’t admire dictators despite their despotism, he admires them because of their despotism.

For those concerned about Trump’s authoritarian ambitions, it’s obviously been a rough year, but it’s also been an especially rough week. In recent days, the American president has militarized the nation’s capital, voiced interest in circumventing Congress (again), and exerted control over private businesses, museums and cultural institutions.

Too many people are cheering him on for the country's good.

Dark Days for the US ahead , he has institutes his only personal national Gusrd as a rapid response unit to unrest in the Entire US supposably about 200 National Guardsmen , but thought he only had control over the actual Federal troops.
Hello Martial Law..Where are our State senate and state representatives ? . gawd only hopes they will never work in US politics again . And their less than sane so called fearless leader . Getting so am afraid to post opinions about the criminal online these days.Just want to know how a convicted Felon with Felonious values got to be in the position he is in? Judging by his new rapid response force and associations with other Dictators that he is expecting some real unrest.
The dept of Justice has obviously failed us here, as they do not just go in and arest him and VP Vance.
