    I dislike the democratic party as well, but that just flat-out isn’t true. There are focused efforts to stop most of Trump’s exec orders and many other actions (as they relate to him trying to act like he has control of governmental spending, etc.) as many are blatantly illegal or unenforceable and also to stop Musk. Now, senators and house members aren’t doing a ton, but there’s not much they can do - they are a bicameral minority. They actually are threatening a government shutdown, but that hasn’t occurred yet. Most of the resistance is rightly coming from the judicial branch.

      Sounds like confusion stems from you believing words and actions to be of equal value. Which is typical for any defense of Democrats.

        No, there are actual legal challenges. As for the government shutdown, that is absolutely just words as I said in my comment.

            A challenge in court is, objectively, an action. As opposed to “words”. Already some of the executive orders have been blocked. I can give sources if you are actually interested, but you’re not being reasonable.

              Farting is also objectively an action. That’s not the kind of action people are calling for.

              I understand that you believe this to be some kind of proper action. You don’t have to keep reiterating it.

      So in other words…dems are less energized to fight against Trump than they did against protests.

      “If you ignore all the ways dems have been ineffective against Trump, they’re actually really effective against Trump.”

        Also, let’s leave this to the judges. They will surely make wise decisions in the favor of the populace.

        And what else are we to do? We can’t have the police mop them up like we did with those antisemitic hippies.
