Summary
Progressive Democrats accused Donald Trump and Elon Musk of orchestrating a “constitutional crisis” after Musk moved to shut down USAID and gained access to a federal payment system.
Lawmakers, blocked from entering USAID’s headquarters, condemned Trump for granting Musk unchecked power over government functions.
Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that Musk’s involvement could trigger financial instability, while Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it a “plutocratic coup.”
The democrats are refusing to employ any of the government-breaking strategies the republicans just proved, over years as a minority party, can bring the government to crawl. Worse than that, they are enabling everything the republicans are doing. They aren’t even putting up a fight. They’d rather be “civil” and “the adults in the room” than actually stop fascism. They are controlled opposition.

They expect democratic voters to.

When they won’t.

No, I mean that when Democratic legislators are presented with a choice of better or worse, just enough of them always choose worse, but expect greater loyalty from the voters.

Aren’t you just a little suspicious that it always works out that way?
So, you’re essentially saying this is normal for democrats? It’s normal for them to go to bat for republicans? How is that a defense?
It never ceases to amaze me how hard people go in making excuses for democrats.

That’s just a No True Scotsman. “The subset of democrats who vote in line with Republicans, thus making all other democrats’ resistance moot, are simply not real democrats”
