    I heard for months before the election: “republicans have a plan this time! There’s no barriers this time!”

    I keep hearing now: “why aren’t democrats doing anything?”

    What can they do? What policy can they enact as a minority in the house or senate to stop EOs?

      They could call for civil disobedience. They could maybe act like there is an attempt at a fascist takeover of government instead of prioritizing being nice and polite.

      There are some democrat politicians that are sort of begging to take things seriously, such as AOC. But if the party itself doesn’t get its shit together, they’ll be remembered in history like the Weimar Republic.
