What does The Gaurdian expect Democrats to do, without the Constitutional power do it?
I’ve been asking this since the election, and the best answer I get is being told to go fuck myself.
The GOP has control of all three branches of government, along with over half of the state governments. Every single state in the country swung to the right in this election, to some degree. They get to spend at least the next two years, most likely four, having the power to do exactly nothing but sit back and watch. The most they can do are angry tweets and messaging bills that won’t even make it to the floor, let alone get a vote. What the fuck does anybody expect the Democrats to be able to do about it? The last available option is the Senate where Democrats can still throw a monkey wrench into the works until the GOP decide to yank the fillibuster. And once that’s gone – and it will be gone – Democrats will literally have no power other than to sit there and be benchwarmers.
You had your chance in November, but at least some of you decided to stay home because “Genocide Joe”, “old man bad”, or “teh price of muh eggz” and when you’re told that Trump would be worse saying “Yeah but at least its different”. Well, this is what you get. Elections have consequences, and you just gave Trump all the power to do anything he wants because fuck you that’s why. You don’t get to complain now when all Trump is doing is delivering on the promises that he spent his entire campaign explicitly making. You don’t get to act all shocked and surprised now.
The time to do something about this was November 5, 2024. And Democrats as a whole decided to take that opportunity and hand power right back to Trump.

Well state governments, for one, should be doing a lot more to resist Trump’s rampage. I mean that fucker withheld FEMA money from California right? Why is nobody saying anything about that?

The GOP have control of over half the state governments and are fully on the Trump train. As for the other states, exactly what do you expect them to do about it?
Admittedly I don’t know much about the nitty gritty of states rights in America, but again at least say something when the Trump-led federal government interferes in your affairs. The two examples that come to mind are the FEMA money thing and Trump opening wholly unnecessary dams in California.
