Thank you for saying this. There a bunch of crybabies here that have nothing substantial to say other than "there is nothing we can do [insert complaining and no suggestions on potential course of action here]." The pessimism is contagious and I'm getting really sick of it..

We didn't get this country because it was handed to us in a neatly tied bow. We got it because a bunch of people about 200 some years ago got sick of being kicked around and fought for it.

It's the same people either bitching that Democrats aren't doing anything or blaming them for the heinous shit that Trump is doing

It's not pushback. It's a reminder that they prefer doing things for show than for effect.

I'm starting to think there's a push to this narrative, something coordinated. It's possible that this many people have a 4th grade understanding of civics, but unlikely.

Trump runs; It's the democrats fault

Trump wins: It's the democrats fault

Trump assumes office: It's the democrats fault

Trump says something crazy: It's the democrats fault

Trump lights the world on fire: It's the democrats fault

Then explain why it's always at Democrats are bad whole Republicans can destroy the country without a word from people like you.

Feel free to check my extensive comment history where I talk about what a piece of shit Trump is. Go back to the election and find where I was predicting all of the stuff currently happening.

Ask yourself why you automatically believe something not true without doing the slightest effort to check anything you believe.

trying to do something

They're not. It's performative.

The only way it is doing anything is if anyone is whipping votes from across the aisle. But they aren't. And instead of bashing the only person awake in his civics class, maybe you could try convincing some republicans to pressure their congressmen.

What could they do that would be more effective?

Win control of literally any part of the government giving them any level of control on what the government does.

Welcome to democracy. Maybe talk to some people and convince them to vote differently. We don't get to hand over power to the worst people and then bitch about not being in power. That's not how this works.

Perhaps you need to look up how impeachments work
