    God fucking damn it. I expected the Democrats to lose the election by a landslide but not that these bozos would unironically essentially give up and roll the red carpet for Trump of all fucking peoples.

        He’s an existential threat and would be the downfall of the US, but god forbid someone try to take him out.

        The thing is, Dems know if they put up a remorseless, possibly effective fight it would change the character of the party, and probably amp up some violence from Trump supporters, and they themselves are too afraid of being the ones to actively stoke any anger from the other side head first. Even when the sole choices are either they back down, Trump wins and there’s permanent state violence, or they stand tall, still oppose Trump and there’s short-term random violence from his supporters, they will always go with the option that is most passive because that is their fixed and immovable disposition.
