But it's not true. Pushing back on the GOP will be a long, slow, arduous slog...

And how do they do that, precisely? I suspect sitting back and just saying "look what you voted for" isn't enough, even though it should be for most thinking people. I have a "Trump" filter on my news, but still I get enough stories (POTUS is an important news item, and is in a lot more stuff than one might expect) to see the disaster and chaos, and know that almost anyone would be a better choice. And any congress-slime that supports any of his actions should be ousted. However, based on input just from this board, I'm assuming most of the right-wing doesn't see it that way. If they aren't the "burn it all down" type, that's what they're getting anyway. And, yes, I know some of the right does want to burn it all down.

Couple that with the Felon's willingness to ignore court orders (evidently with impunity), and I don't know that Dems can do anything in two years, or even four years. The only check is Congress, and they are too spineless to speak out even when they disagree with the Felon.

1poorlady has a different perspective, being born in the Philippines. She lived through Marcos, and has told me that she thinks the Felon may be trying to create chaos so he can declare martial law, just as Marcos did. If that were to happen, we'd probably lose our democracy forever as all the institutions of democracy (those that survive the present onslaught) would be dissolved. Even if the courts issued orders, he would just ignore them, and Congress appears to be complicit in anything he does. There literally is nothing to stop him.
