Good thing the Democrats already gave up all their leverage for the next six months, or else they might be expected to do something to capitalize on this.
"Sorry, our hands are tied... by us."
Appeasement isn't going high. Saying that the Democrats have ever gone high is giving them way too much credit.
That's the joke. They've never gone high they've just given the Republicans their measurements so that the nooses fit properly.
Honestly when they resist him, he just goes around saying his amazing, super brilliant, swam draining, anti corruption plans are being hindered by evil corrupt democrats. By stepping back they get blame for doing nothing but Trump gets full blame for the way he manages the country.
The one interesting thing to look for in next election is whether it can be rigged or not.
If yes then that's the end of US as democracy
If no then Trump could potentially become a sitting duck for the rest of his presidency.
I understand what you mean, but it anyway sounds like a bad strategy. How much suffering just for the hope that things will resolve themselves in the end ?
More over, if he has free hands, I strongly doubt that the next elections in the US will be fair.
Other comments here complete my view: blaming minorities, lack of good quality information etc...
There is no good move to make. The problem is that we can't even agree on the least bad options to slow it down.
Or.. now hear me out.. we let America get exactly what it voted for. Democrats can’t keep bailing out the republicans.
This is a privileged take. There are plenty of people that cannot wait.
It’s a principled take. There are plenty of articles showing it’s Trump’s base that’s receiving a significant portion of injury from his orders and policies. Unless they feel the pain — without democratic intervention to cast blame — these people will never change their minds. They may not in any event, but it has to affect them. It’s either these hard lessons, or we keep spiraling to civil war.
Learn from history.
The privileged voters tried to save trump’s base from itself, but what do they know:

If you think democrats won't be blamed, you haven't been paying attention.
It doesn't need to be true, it doesn't need to be in the same postal code of truth, it just needs to be repeated 24/7 on fox News.
He's admitted, on camera, that the election was rigged.
America didn't vote for this.
Ya'll are absolutely overestimating the power of the continue resolution vote. It was never going to turn things around.
