Almost the entire republican reps in the house and senate either support him or are doing nothing to go against him.

I’d bet the people who vote Democrat are also unhappy with how little their representatives are doing, even if their party is in a position of ineffectuality for the next 2 years.

Yeah they're doing nothing now, but my biggest worry is that the dems are thinking/planning on how to swing farther right, as their method to get more voters. I can't see them getting more progressive. When we had bernie looking very promising in 2016 they literally teamed together to make sure he didn't win. He aint even that progressive. Yeah dems are doing nothing now, but when they do start doing anything it might not be what progressives want.

True, but at the same time, it's not their idea, they aren't that stupid. Nobody is.

I'd say them just letting it happen is arguably more stupid
