    Tyranny FROM the minority more like it. The problem is, the people that can help this not happen, aren’t going to life a finger to help.

    Then they’ll whine and complain about the results of their indication for the next four years until 2028 when they’ll again- do nothing in “protest.”

      The problem there is that Democrats have some level respect for the rules. They are, for better or worse, too docile to play by the Republican rulebook (which was seemingly printed on a cocktail napkin). The Republicans have no respect for the rules. They’ve shown it time and time again. There were at least three headlines in the past week, before the debate.

      You can’t win that game playing the rules, but agreeing to breaking the rules just means that the rules truly don’t matter, and in doing so, the Republicans win.

          Best proof of this was the impeachment (impeachments) of Trump. They knew going into it that it was a token move and it wouldn’t mean shit once it got to Senate. If.

          But by then they waited for too long. Trump is the result of a shit storm decades in the making, not it’s cause.

          And what are they supposed to do? Not even try to hold him accountable and prove that nobody will even attempt it?
