Silence of the Democrats aids Trump dictatorship

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : They went to the White House last week for talks with Trump and continue to beg for a deal in which they would approve funding for Trump to continue his authoritarian rampage in return for minor concessions on healthcare spending.
55% : " Rather than press the issue and demand that the attorney general defer to the rights of Congress to oversee the executive branch, other Democrats on the committee moved on to a series of diversions -- the firing of career lawyers at the Justice Department, Bond's role in the suppression of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and his ties to Trump, and who authorized dropping a criminal investigation into White House immigration "czar" Tom Homan for accepting bribes.
50% : The extraordinary events of the past five days, with Trump calling up National Guard troops for deployment to Portland and Chicago, and Stephen Miller denouncing unfavorable court orders -- issued by judges appointed by Trump himself -- as a "judicial insurrection," have not prompted the Democratic Party leadership to declare that this is a government that seeks to overthrow the Constitution and establish Trump as king in all but name.
50% : In his opening statement, the senior Democrat on the committee, Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, depicted Trump as a "strongman on television."
50% : The national leadership of the Democrats treats Trump as a legitimate president, not a would-be dictator.
50% : Asked by the New York Times what three specific steps he would take if Trump sent the National Guard to New York City, he replied, "The first is to preemptively hire 200 lawyers," followed by speaking publicly against the deployment and then filing lawsuits modeled on those in other states faced with National Guard deployments.
50% : Its verbal opposition to Trump is limited by its defense of the capitalist system.
50% : Moreover, on the fundamental issues of social policy, the Democrats agree with Trump.
48% : The entirely unserious character of Democratic Party "opposition" to Trump was revealed Tuesday at a lengthy appearance by Attorney General Pam Bondi before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
41% : The governors issue protests, but their actions are limited to filing lawsuits.
35% : Not a single Democrat declares that there can be no negotiation with a president seeking to overthrow the Constitution and establish his dictatorship or that the central task is to build support for removing Trump and his fascist sidekick JD Vance from office.
35% : But nothing about Trump's threat to invoke the Insurrection Act and effectively proclaim martial law.
17% : When Durbin asked Bondi what legal basis there was for Trump sending National Guard troops to Chicago against the wishes of Governor JB Pritzker, Bondi did not disguise her contempt.
6% : facebook icon While Trump and his top fascist aides, like Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi, speak the language of civil war and openly incite violence against the American people, the Democratic Party, the supposed opposition party in Congress and the states, is doing everything it can to disarm the public and block any systematic response to Trump's drive to establish a presidential dictatorship.
