        Yup.

        At this point, the republicans can’t fold fast enough, and democrats are just stepping aside because “reasons”.

        There’s only a handful of people actually standing up.

            Yes. But even 10, 20 years ago there would have been a few being like, “fuck no.” They’re all folding and toeing the line. (And yes, putting on the armbands and the diapers and the maxi pads over thermal ears.)

            For example, Ukraine and Russia.
