But he (Trump) and Elon Musk have questioned whether the judicial branch should be able to stop the executive.

This is the exact path for a totalitarian dictatorship. And if history is any indication, Democrats will probably just file a complaint when democracy ends in USA.

[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago (2 children)

But it'll be a sternly-worded complaint!

They'll SLAM him over these policies by asking for funding so they can keep fighting and SLAMMING all of these guys. They're the true resistance!*

*Results not guaranteed beyond asking for more donations

For enough money sent in, "you'll get 2 republican votes for every base vote you lose" Schumer will adjust his glasses with a stern look on his face. That guy needs to go.

They're just sitting and waiting for their luck to change instead of doing anything.

The courts are corrupted at the top. The system is not going to stop Trump. It's up to the people.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately the people also seem to be waiting on the courts or for the next election cycle.

[–] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago

It seems everyone has their thumbs up their asses waiting for this all to just go away.

Big Gil Gunderson vibes..

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 69 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Thing is, I haven't really seen the Democrats prepare for anything.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm sure they've done some insider trading.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Good point, insider trading is by definition something. So it cannot be accurately said the dems did nothing. Checkmate, leftists.

They also sponsored a bill to crack down on unlicensed streaming sites.
Standing up for the constituents. Clearly.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

in 4 years, the Heritage Foundation put together a plan to dismantle the U.S. government.

In those same 4 years, the Democrats sat on their hands with the expectation that the 2024 election was in the bag.

I'm not even sure if Dems can prepare for what's coming. Certainly not to the level the Republicans have prepared for this moment.

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But they sure do think they’re the superheroes in their head-canon at every step. Confounding, the idiocy and smug.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 4 days ago

Heros all the way to their and their Republican countrrparts all the way to their offshore accounts and other hidden assets.

[–] halferect@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Democrats are such a joke, I watched them get told there place for 40 years by Republicans and I haven't seen them do anything other than pathetic reactionary performance, democrats prove you are worth a vote because after 40 years the Republicans stomped you and you are useless
