“We must push back hard against these next leaps down the pathway to tyranny,” said one Democratic in the House.
And the problem is not Turnip, and it’s not Muskrat, and its not Vance … it’s the flying circus of a government that is just standing around with their thumb up their ass doing absolutely nothing or very little to try to stop all this.
The house is on fire and very few people are actually trying to put the fire out while everyone else is just standing on the sidewalk pointing at the fire.
The dirty little secret is that nobody in any government has control without the backing of guys with guns. In the US, that’s the executive branch headed by the president.
If Democrats (and any handful of Republicans secretly hiding their shred of dignity) have any chance, it’s not going to be as a toothless opposition. Best case they’re ignored, worst case they have a terrible accident involving a high window.
Ensuring they have some semblance of support from the military would be priority #1, second would probably be hoping the Supreme Court would lend them legal support by not tearing up the constitution. With the backing of both, the non-treasonous remnants of Congress could pick up the pieces with some semblance of legal continuity.
Without the military, your only choice is to concede to the executive branch. You could stand firm and end up a constitutional martyr to fuel some civil unrest, maybe even form your own government in exile, but not much beyond that.
because, and I will keep saying this: the Democratic party is the party of Complicity.
they WILL NOT stop this because it BENEFITS THEM.
ITS A BIG CLUB AND YOU AIN’T IN IT.
Or even better … the US is a one party state with two different divisions.
