Yes we do.

He’s leading a coup.

On behalf of the would-be US dictator Donald Trump, he and his mercenaries are taking control of vital government functions away from the duly appointed authorities and claiming it as their own.

I read about half of that and knew who wrote it.

…arguing in bad faith?

I love unintentional irony.

This is a coup.

Yes, because if it was more open, there would be a risk of leftists gaining influence.

Huh - apparently just being not-the-Republicans isn’t enough.

The important question is, will the DNC learn anything from this?

I’m guessing no.

It’d be bad enough if that just meant that the US is for all intents a one-party system, but at this particular point in history, the future of the country and the lives of millions depend on effective opposition to those who are building a plutocratic/fascist oligarchy, and the exact institution that should be the vanguard for opposition is just a bunch of greedy pigs and cowards.

I sincerely expect future historians (if there are any) to have a specific name for this particular period in American history - something like “The idiot Age” or “The Faceplant Years.”
