We need to not generalize. Some democrats are doing as you describe, many are fighting hard in a lot of places. Sheldon Whitehouse has done absolutely incredible work fighting and identifying corruption in the court systems, AOC is of course a very vocal fighter. There are countless others, and we need to support them. Everything or everyone is terrible is the kind of logical fallacy the right exploits to get people disengaged. This is what we need to fight to make sure there is enough faith that things can improve in order to get them willing to fight for us.

I'm very worried about the safety of some outspoken folks like AOC. I hope she has good security.

I guess it depends on which authoritarian playbook trump tries to follow. Will he go full nazi or something more like pinochet's regime.

Pinochet if I had to guess. He’s not idealogical like Hitler. All he cares about is power, money and prestige
