I don't think they have an incentive to. Better for them to sit back and watch trump break things so they can be the ones to (campaign to) fix it.
They just need to boo from the sidelines and hope for the worst.
- dkjaudyeqooe 2y agoYour comment shows an ignorance of how American government works. The president has vast powers when it comes to the administration of the state. Democrats could impeach him but don't have the votes. They can use the courts and that's already being done. Instead of claiming bad faith maybe you could tell us what you'd have the Democrats do.
- thunky 2y ago> maybe you could tell us what you'd have the Democrats do Instead of limp statements by Schumer and the like taking about "bromances" and complaining about how Trump and Musk are executing their actions, maybe they could focus on what is being done and the actual substance and consequences of it. It's politically safer for them to stop at the how. But their constituents care about substance, not dramatics. People are generally numb to this stuff, because we constantly hear each side attack the other relentlessly, like immature grade schoolers. It's noise that we've been programmed to tuned out. I could be wrong and maybe the Democrats have pure intentions this one time, but if you don't believe that politicians root for the other team to fail, despite the negative consequences to the people they represent, then I'm afraid you may be the ignorant one.
