Why won't Republicans do something!?
Seriously.
Sick of this "where are the Dems?!" from mouthbreathers that don't know how the government works at its most basic level.
The Dems hands are tied until enough Republicans break from the Nazis. All the Dems can do is gum up the works a bit (and they are pretty limited there). That's about it.
The only option Congress has to correct this is impeachment...and a hell of a lot of it, because there's a long list of succession, and the first one without an "R" next to his name is #11, and that's RFK Jr.
And then all the corrupt justices that Trump loaded up the judicial with. Not just SCOTUS but all the lower courts.
So yeah...what are Republicans doing, because from here, it looks like they are all cheering this on, and they hold the trifecta.
To be honest, democrats could be louder in their complaints. Not that it will change anything, but at least their optics would be better.
And then it still wouldn't be good enough.
The Republicans are so fucking evil that no matter what the Dems do, it'll never be good enough.
And meanwhile the discourse is constantly "where are the Dems" instead of "what in the actual fuck is wrong with all these Republicans".
MY Dems (namely Warren but also Auchincloss...no idea what Markey is up to) have been busy. Highly recommend following your senator/representative on Bluesky, if they are on there yet. Also AOC ( @aoc.bsky.social ... Her house.gov isn't as active and it's geared more for constituents)
Fair. But sometimes it helps to just complain about the color of a suit on fox news to mobilize the people. Which republicans have perfected to a science.
