They are putting absolutely no effort in their performance to pretend to be an opposition party.

It's weird there isn't even a pretense of kabuki. I guess the dem machine hopes for Trump to cause pain and chaos so they can be seen as the only hope. But at this rate - I think even if prices soar and there are a "troubling" number of bird flu cases and deaths in the run up to the midterms - the dem base could be angry and/or demoralized. The elections could be a dem bloodbath.

Whatever their actual strategy is - they are playing a dangerous game
