    The crazier the republicans get, the more it’s the dems fault worse the Dems are for not doing anything about it

    Fixed that for you.

    But why waste your time focusing on them

    Because they’re the only ones with the power to do anything and are supposed to be on our side.

    Of course, they’re actually on the side of their owner donors whose interests rarely align with ours.

    Let’s figure out a way to separate the base from trump

    You clearly have no idea how powerful cult indoctrination is. As evidenced by both this and your reflexive defense of the AWOL Dems.

    We have to get through before it’s too late.

    There’s nowhere near as much of a chance getting through to his own cult than to the people SUPPOSED to oppose his atrocities for a living.

        Like what, vote? I do that at every opportunity. Protest? I do this as much as my disabilities allow.

        Bottom line is that they’re the only people vested with the power to enact and block legislation on behalf of the people who AREN’T declared members of the cult and ARE posturing as the #Resistance without doing anything substantial.

        It’s THEIR job and they’re NOT doing it.

            You only have two real options: cope or act.

            That’s just flat out false.

            Besides, even if it wasn’t, denying that part of enacting change is petitioning those with more power to do so is asinine. It’s right there in the first fucking amendment for a reason!

            I repeat: directly blocking Republican atrocities using powers that ONLY THEY HAVE is THEIR job that they’re NOT doing and that I’m legally NOT allowed to do.

            Your reflexive defense of those who have power and attempts to shift the blame to those who don’t is eerily similar to what MAGA cult members do every time someone criticizes Trump.

              Tell me, what would a third option be?

              Petitioning your representatives is action, until you lose faith in it leading to change, then it’s coping.

              Either you find another action you believe could lead to change, or you don’t.

                That’s what I’m fucking doing: I’m trying to enact change by explaining to party soldiers such as yourself that the do-nothing Dems in Congress aren’t perfect so that you might stop shielding them from any accountability for their (lack of) actions.

                Clearly you’re just as blinded to the faults of your own “team” as the fascists are, though, so I’m gonna stop wasting my time and efforts trying to talk some sense into your addled neoliberal brain.
