Are the Dems in Congress rolling over for Trump

The Democratic Senators and Congress people are the only ones who can get in the way of Trump fucking us.
And all I see is them saying they are "open" to what working with him and want to hear what he has say.
The same guy they said will be a dictator and will destroy democracy.
A guy who won by under 2%..
We are truly fucked.

But I am talking about how they are not saying they will stop his agenda, but "work with him".
He is going to dismantle the government and they will sit on their hands.

They have enough control to not need dems. Dems can only slow things down and muck it up some. Right now we need more than them. We need a larger party plan strategy that is forward thinking.

We have to find a successful answer to the misinformation problem which is huge.

We need to expand our message so that we drown out the misinformation somehow.

We need billionaires on our side helping with the very expensive strategies we need to undertake

Think out the box and find creative scenarios like somehow convincing many west coast dems to move to Wyoming Idaho Montana. That could be 6 senate seats.

short term, if they don't even try to slow things down and muck them up, what use are they?
