MODERATORS
They're all scared. Republicans and Democrats, both of them are scared. But you know what? They aren't scared enough. The rest of the country and the people they are supposed to represent are scared about their safety, rights, retirement, medical care, disaster relief, buying food, businesses, livelihoods, and family members or themselves being deported or exiled from the country. They'd throw everyone under the bus just to have 5 more minutes of being in their seats. And when worse comes to worst, they'd throw everyone under the bus for 5 more minutes of not being exiled or disposed of themselves. They're only delaying the inevitable. Bullies don't become friends with the people they bully just because they were nice to them. They will only use it as a go-ahead to make it even worse.
It's not just their jobs they're worried about; politicians who oppose Trump have been getting a lot of death threats and such lately.
In order for them to stand up to Trump, they need to become more scared of the rest of us than they are of stochastic terrorist MAGAs.
If they had done their fucking jobs last year they wouldn't have this problem
You misunderstand my purpose. I didn't write that to try to excuse their behavior; I wrote it to explain how to force them to change it.
It needs to be demonstrated to them that collaborating with fascists is more personally dangerous to them than resisting is.
That's why that Parkland dude's warning/suggestion of primary-ing do-nothing Democrats is being met with such vitriol by Dems. That's what needs to happen. They need to fear losing whatever power the may have right now. We need to primary every Democrat that gave the thumbs up to tRump's cabinet picks and a middle finger to the rest of us.
That's still not the kind of fear I'm talking about, but sure, that too.
And I definitely get that. But at the same time they are all individually scared of the same thing yet they don't work together and do something about this.
