"Democrats are really going to regret not standing up to Trump, not just because they’ll lose voters, but because they’ll lose a democratic system where having more voters is the way you gain power."

If you can, try to find time to visit your Congressperson's local office. Tell them in person that they must do everything possible to impeach the lawless scumbag dictator who is shredding our democracy.

A) So as well as leaving a menace in place, by NOT removing a #corrupt #politician AND self-admitted fascist collaborator (Fox TV appearance plus Duh #DOJ charges drop) from mayor’s office, Hochul’s basically insured her/future NY governors’ power of removal is next to meaningless

B) Interesting/revolting timing to her acceptance of a #trump appointment

Coming to the realization that most of those I was counting on to at least try to fight the Sweet Potato Fuhrer are not going to show up. Instead of "going along to get along" and working against the fascist regime from the inside, it seems most are only really interested in self-preservation. I have a bad feeling about midterms, not that #Dems will cross over and vote Republican, but that they won't show at all. #USPolitics #fascism #vichydemocrats #politics #government #democracy

Interesting historical analogies “It’s worth considering whether American opponents of Trumpism should be looking to Europe at all for historical analogies and social media burns. After all, the US has its own history of abiding intolerable legal oppression of a minority group. That system existed as recently as the 1960s, and it wasn’t called Vichy, but Jim Crow.”

On Vichy Democrats

"'Vichy Democrats' has become an increasingly popular expression of disgust with the feckless opposition party…”

"Capitulating to Trump: why people are warning about ‘Vichy’ America”, The Guardian, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/31/vichy-france-trump-democrats?utm_term=679cc95208b28d16163adf7880745aff&utm_campaign=GuardianTodayUS&utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&CMP=GTUS_email

As a Democrat, I’m becoming more, at best, disappointed in Democrats in the #HouseofRepresentives and the #Senate. I expect a strong opposition by the Democrats. Other than #AOC, #AlexandriaOcasioCortez, I’ve seen very little from my Party.
