The Democrats
Dave Dayen at the American Prospect notes, much to his and everyone’s surprise, the Democrats are (finally) fighting back. I’ll let him give you the details, but suffice to say that he is right:
It’s been clear for a while that the dividing line in the Democratic Party in the midst of an authoritarian power grab is entirely about whether or not you’re willing to fight on behalf of the country. It’s amazing that there was ever anyone on the “unwilling” side of that line, given the role of an opposition party and the threat Trump posed. But backs against the wall, Democrats are finally figuring out their purpose.
From Washington to California to Austin to Chicago they are deploying whatever tactics are at their disposal to stop the onslaught. They may very well fail but they are at least coming out publicly on the right side and showing the majority of America that they are cognizant of the threat. That makes a difference.
