Chuck Schumer had one job: to stand between Donald Trump and the complete dismantling of American democracy. Instead, he caved — again — handing Trump the power he craved without a fight, without a demand, without even a moment of real resistance. With every cowardly compromise, Schumer isn’t just failing Democrats — he’s enabling an autocrat in real-time.
The question most Democrats want to ask of Leader Chuck Schumer in the Senate appears to be, “How’s that ‘keeping the government open to hold Trump accountable’ thing working out for you?”
This is how democracies die. They are not taken down by foreign adversaries. They are not swept away by attacking hordes. They are destroyed from within, just like Russia, post USSR, and Hungary under Orban. Even if trump serves only one more term, he will have taken away the safe guards that ensure we have a "peaceful transfer of power." He will have another soldier of MAGA, probably a family member, lined up to continue his march to authoritarianism. Elections will be fixed and the judiciary will be muted. And the free media will be intimidated and silenced to prevent any decent. We will be more aligned with Russia and dictatorships that with our allies worldwide. The damage may never be reversable.
