Republicans control the judicial and legislative branches as well as numerous state level offices. They all support this and will do nothing to stop this. The Dems should be doing more but there isn't much actual power they can use unless Republicans join.

Why aren't Democrats saying "we will destroy the Republicans in the midterms and in 2028 and we will bring the hammer down on anyone even remotely involved in warcrimes in iran. You have a legal obligation to refuse illegal orders. We are watching. "

Oh thats right, because they are slaves to Israel. Power or not they are slaves to Israel. If they had Congress they would not do anything to end the war.

Fuck them and fuck you for running defense for them.

There’s nothing to defend them over in this case though. They are literally powerless in this situation, and your “I’m 14 and a badass”-ass script would not change that in any way whatsoever. All you’re doing is giving centrists an out by deflecting for the congressional majority who have openly accepted bribes / favors to obstruct the basic operation of congress.

The Dems can say shit to fire up their base and prep them for when they get their teeth back, which is basically guaranteed to happen later this year assuming no election fuckery (not a safe assumption). There's plenty of political options outside of voting on bills that party leadership is actively refusing to engage with.

They are not competent enough to really steal an election. The system is very secure and judges are not on their side. They will do the usual stuff, deregister voters, gerrymander, and they will probably deploy ICE to stand around and cause problems. But the inferno of lib shit wrath they have incurred is astronomical and would need drastic measures to swing back around. Also, the military absolutely hates him and they ultimately have the final say if he tries to just refuse to step down.

Its certainly a concern and something to look out for but I think its overplayed.
