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.”
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!"
