Democrats keep waiting for Republicons to play by the rules.
It’s tough bringing a pen and paper to a gun fight.
Conservatives are actively destroying the United States of America
AI slop.
If the Dems are expected to put out the fires in the Whitehouse, America, then maybe you shouldn’t have voted for a Republican to run it.
You fucking idiots!
There’s not much they can do, the red hat cult controls all branches of government.
If they wanted Dems to help, they should’ve voted for it. Too late for that now. Time to help yourself.
I really really wanna know what Dems can do at this point. There is not much they can do.
Gosh! That seems horrible! I guess the republicans are for the burn then? Wow! They are truly horrific monsters, lighting the country they claim to love on fire with their policies, their congress, their senate, their president, their Supreme Court. Guess this comic really shows us the truth – republicans are vile, and democrats don’t want to believe it.
Voting your party into power is step one. Even if you don’t like the candidates. Even if they don’t inspire you. Even if they’ve let you down numerous times in the past. If their stated values are more aligned with your values than the other side’s, vote for them. THEN make demands of them. Yell, march, boycott, whatever. But without step one, it’s just hot air.
Where are the progressives that handed Trump the keys? Why are they spending all their energy blaming the Democrats instead of doing something?
Classic blame shifting
Im not Democrat but anyone with a brain can realize that if Democrats tried to rip Trump out of office, his supporters would go on a mass killing spree. Trump would use it as a “call to action”. He would green light and entire nation just to save his own ass
You want to blame someone? Blame the dumb fücks that support him.
Nobody wants Civil War. Nobody. Thats something you never recover from, in terms of economically and mentally. Americans killing Americans? Thats the solution?
Doesnt mean that people wont stand up and fight, they just dont want to kill people because fox news brainwashed a whole nation.
They have no power because we live in a democracy and voters chose the Republicans to take power and implement their campaign promises.
They are doing what they can… This is what is happening.

Just so I’m clear:
Dems are to blame for everything because they switched from Biden to Harris, didn’t switch from Biden to Harris soon enough, didn’t start over with a whole new primary when Biden stepped down, talked about Trump too much, didn’t explain clearly enough what Trump was going to do, created a terrible economy that Trumped bragged about after two days in office, created a strong economy but didn’t tell people about it, focused on “extreme left” issues too much, ignored liberal issues and tried to run as moderates, abandoned moderation and went full Socialist…
And now, they’re to blame for not doing “something” to help save the country from the man the country rejected them in favor of and gave full control of all branches.
Did I miss anything?
Unless you are arguing that dems should pull a dictator like coup, I honestly do not know what people are expecting.
They can’t do a thing. They’re powerless. They don’t have the votes. It’s far, far too late.
Conservatives accomplished the ham-stringing of anti-trust law and promoted the consolidation of the news media way back in the ’90’s. The result is that even though the American economy was doing better than any other after the pandemic and inflation was half what it was everywhere else the news never reported it. Instead devoting itself to normalizing the insanity of an idiot and his fascist movement and the slow-motion demolition of democracy. Today they report the re-naming of the Gulf of Mexico like it’s not a symptom of profound psychological damage.
Extremists have control of the Supreme Court, law enforcement, the military, congress and the executive branch. Historically what happens in these situations is that they start incarcerating, torturing and killing their opposition. Since they now control the election commissions in every swing state, that might not be necessary, but they might still do it for fun. (See: Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, Spain, Italy, Germany from the 1920’s all the way through the 1990’s)
If any correction happens, it’s when the extremists begin to obviously betray and exploit their supporters and those supporters finally wise up. When and if correction happens it has taken as little as a political cycle, if the normal political cycle still functions, or decades. Spain was a fascist dictatorship for almost 40 years under Franco and right-wing influence remains.
The right wing extremists in control of America today are profoundly inept and not enormously unified, which argues for a brief supremacy. But the liberal opposition is almost as inept, deeply craven and throughly fractured.
>Murc’s Law, fallacy
>The widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics, and therefore all blame for any events that take place.
I’m reading all these comments saying “what are they supposed to do” and can’t help but wonder when did people become so apathetic? So defeated?
We are in a constitutional crisis that goes far beyond any mandate Trump was given. Do you not know what’s happening? This is not democracy anymore.
What are Dems to do? Organize a loud movement exactly like MAGA did with the clear message: fight the fascists. Stop pretending everything’s okay and rules of democracy still apply.
Why won’t the democrats I refuse to vote for do anything?!
Every day I hate you people more.
I love how voters hand all power to the Rs then are outraged when Ds are powerless to save them.
The Dems have quite a history of cleaning up Republican messes.
Voters: *Kicks ostrich out of DC and forces its head into the hole.*
Also voters: “Why doesn’t the ostrich do something?!”
I think that people need to see republican governance in action and really feel it personally in order to push the pendulum back.
The can’t do anything legally but they can start taking the media circuit and talking major shit. Been just a few people doing that. Fuck the high road.
Only 2 people hold this train of thought, idiots and idiots that voted republican. From both sides are the same to please do something 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like I live in a completely different world from the people saying Democrats are doing nothing. My congressman has been holding town halls all over the district raising awareness about what’s going on and how we would be impacted. He’s done several interviews with local news publications talking about the executive orders and DOGE. He’s done outreach to ask us directly for feedback – how we’ve been impacted so far, what we want to see happen. He’s a founder of the Stop Project 2025 task force. He’s one of the people who has been repeatedly demanding answers from the administration about their efforts to dismantle different departments. My Senators have voted against every single nominee Trump has put forward. I see a lot being done that’s within their power to do – but what are *we the people* actually doing about any of this? I don’t see much of that.
What do you want them to do? They didn’t make this mess.
Do WHAT exactly?
What do you want them to do. Republicans are majority with all branches of government. Every man for themselves at this point in red states.
Democrats: Vote for us or he’ll burn the place down!
America: Fucks around, votes Republican for all 3 branches of government
America: Democrats, why aren’t you putting out this fire faster!
**Can we fast forward a year when we start to figure out this is going to take direct action, general strikes, good trouble, tax protests, etc. to get something done here. Sitting around waiting on politicians is the ultimate keyboard warrior strategy.
Any of you Americans waiting for the Dems to stop this are complete fools. It doesn’t matter if you blame the Dems or not, **your country is in danger!**
*YOU need to get out there and stop this*
How the fuck is Republicans burning everything down ALWAYS democrats fault when they don’t (because they can’t) fix it immediately.
Yes let’s blame the party with a real platform and a clear plan to foster the middle class, get poor kids fed and pulled out of poverty, lead the world in renewable energy and semi-conductor research instead of the party that has surrendered their Constitutional duty to a convicted felon, rapist election denier and the millions of idiots that voted for him against the mountain of evidence they refused to look at.
Yes, they need to present a united front but aren’t they? They younger generation D’s sure are. AOC, Rep Crockett, Rep Cesar, Sen Murphy and others certainly are. If you don’t know that and are just looking at Schumer and Pelosi you’re not seeing what’s really happening…the end of their leadership of the party and a new breed finding its voice.
Voters literally vote Dems out of power and then complain they don’t do anything to stop the guy who voters decided to have all the power. I wish we could go back to the days when Americans were stupid because they didn’t know geography.
Idk what people expect the Democrats to do. They don’t have a hand on any of the levers of power.
Also, can I add how fucking insane it is to me that even when Republicans are driving the country into the dirt, it’s somehow our fault for not stopping them when we have absolutely no means to do so?
What exactly are they supposed to do? They run neither the White House nor either branch of congress….so….?
Are you hoping for more press appearances? More speeches?
Other than performative bull 💩, there isn’t anything they can do unless republicans jump the aisle and vote with them.
I fear that Democrats are not capable of the needed violent rejection of Trump’s agenda. It will be up to the citizenry to address the perfidy of the Republicans
The GOP currently controls all 3 branches of Government. This is what a plurality of America voted for. And if you didn’t vote, this is what you decided on too. Don’t expect us to save you. We’re not Captain America.
YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTED FOR.
The world laughed at the states YOUR INCOMPETENCE for RE-electing a felon that is cancerous waste of cells that deprives those around him of the life source of oxygen.
For those who say well I didn’t vote. – you voted through inaction and your vote counts
This is such fucking bullshit lol. “Trump is ruining the country, why would the Democrats allow this!”, motherfuckers, he won the election! He’s got congressional majorities! We fucking warned you! What do you want now?!
Dumbass take; even worse hearing it from the same people who opted to vote Third Party. Actions, meet consequences.
What the hell do you expect them to do? GOP controls the house, senate, supreme court and white house. If the dems put forward a bill, it won’t go anywhere. The only thing is lawsuits. Those can be initiated by just about anyone.
Ya’ll didn’t vote for them, so they’re more powerless than usual. This is what you get.
The Ostrich should say GOP and add some MAGA on the sidelines cheering.
I assume all the people complaining about the Dems not doing anything are the same people who stayed home and didn’t vote because “they weren’t feeling either candidate”. If you didn’t vote or you voted third party you can kindly shut the fuck up.
Enough of this shit. Voters fucked up. Trump is horrible but his voters showed up.
People wanted perfect and now we have this crisis.
I am so sick of everyone blaming the dems for the actions of the republican party. Fuck you and fuck everyone who is trying to shift blame instead of placing it where it belongs. If you want someone to stop the GOP how about REACHING OUT TO THE GOP. How about HOLDING YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE. This aint our circus and it aint our monkeys. FAFO
