I begged my congressman to support articles of impeachment. His response was basically that they don’t have the votes, so why bother? He even said that if they did, it would be performative and would play into persecution rhetoric for Trump. So that’s where we are now. The only people with the political power to oust a tyrant have thrown in the towel. I tried to reason with him that it matters. Even if they don’t have the votes to convict. Impeach him once a week of you have to. Persecute the motherfucker! But no, I guess re-election to Congress is more important. Fucking joke.

I think democrats are controlled opposition, but do people not understand that they currently aren’t in power? The fed is run by the GOP. Dems are only enough of a problem that Trump has to write EOs for every goddamned thing.

They are complicit controlled opposition. Their only job is to keep the left out of power. That’s why they’re more upset about socialists than Trump, ultimately Trump is on their side and the socialists are not.

If Jimmy Carter were alive today, we would confidently express all of the benevolence of the DSA and rub it in Trump’s grifter Pinocchio nose.

Democrats have been setting out to lose since Obama left office. Trump 2020 was the only one to beat them at their own game.
