Donald Trump has unleashed a “flood the zone” strategy: a cascade of executive actions aimed at rapidly reshaping the federal government and the country. The scope of changes is staggering: massive reductions in the federal workforce, the dismantling of USAID, signaling departments of labor and education are next, and the firing of Justice Department prosecutors.
Amid this whirlwind, a critical question emerges: Where is the opposition? What concrete steps are Democrats taking to counter this aggressive agenda? Senior politics reporter Akela Lacy says there are some very obvious things the Democrats could be doing. “Movement people are asking the obvious question right now, which is:
Why are there any Democrats — at all — voting to confirm a single Trump nominee? That’s one of the lowest hanging pieces of fruit,” she says. The Democrats had no plan, Lacy says, despite there being “no confusion about the fact that these nominees were going to be coming up for a vote. And still there were Democrats who voted for several of Trump’s nominees.”
Because Democrats are the controlled opposition party bought and paid for by the same billionaires that own the Republican party?
Billionaires wealth is exploding, while the rest of us suffer. But hey Biden and Harris patted themselves on the back saying they did their best. Zero messaging that questioned billionaire stranglehold on our country. Zero comments on the plight of the American worker beyond “the economy is going fine!” which is contrary to the reality that most Americans don’t have $500 saved for any kind of emergency and for most of us the economy is not reflective of our prosperity.
They did try to cozy up to Republicans for their votes though! Remember during covid when Republicans were complaining about any $1000 checks for Americans suffering from the realities of covid because those checks were going I make them fat and lazy and not want to work anymore? I bet the people cheering those guys on have had a change of heart…
Corporate Democrats run the party. Corporate Democrats are closer to Republicans that they are the Progressives in their party. It’s why after the election their thought wasn’t “did we fight hard enough for working americans?” it was “hey maybe we should start bashing trans people, it worked for Republicans”.
For Corporate Democrats this is business as usual. They lost but so what? Their donation machine brought in a shit ton of money under the auspices of “this is the end of democracy if we don’t win”, but if they acted like that in their day to day it would piss off their billionaire owners. The billionaires bought fascism, why stand in the way of your masters?
Remember our new DNC chair committed to make sure they only take money from “good billionaires”. How long ago was it Elon Musk was seen as a “good” one? The Tony Stark of business and technology. It’s almost like the DNC is more interested in easy cash instead of meaningful representation…
This is 100% accurate
Biden did do his best. He pushed through an incredible amount of legislation and real change for someone in his position and there’s few who could’ve done as well he did breaking through a Republican congress…
They’re corrupt. They’re corporate. But there’s a world of difference between them and Republicans. They aren’t purely bought by the same billionaires.
Lol, BlueMAGA has completely taken leave of reality
Agreed. I don’t think Biden was perfect, not by a long shot, but he got a massive amount of legislation passed that was helping average Americans, and the media, the general population, and even his own party gave him very little in the way of recognition or thanks. I wasn’t expecting much from his presidency at the outset, but I think ultimately he was one of the most successful and productive presidents in modern history.
He’s a genocidal was criminal, it’s fucking ghoulish to complain about him not getting enough “recognition and thanks”. If he got the “recognition” he deserves he’d be executed at the Hague.

Trivializing genocide is psychotic. If the wholesale slaughter of an ethnicity is meaningless to you, you have no ethics, which means you have no selfless thinking when it comes to politics, which means your opinion is absolutely worthless. Political analysis requires caring about the fate of humanity. If you’re only interested in your own benefit, or some benefit of a group you delusionally limit your empathy to, you are literally incapable of analyzing politics objectively. I mean this not to insult but literally to say, this is a complete disqualification of you ever talking about politics. You do not have the skills or motivation required to do it.

How fast Blue MAGA fascists go from “Biden did his best, he’s the lesser evil!” To “I don’t care about human life, everyone deserves to die!”
