Perhaps, but Trump does not use carrots nearly as much as he uses sticks. I think much more likely is that Trump has threatened them with primaries, with exposing indiscretions, or they have received personal threats from Trump’s nuttier maggots. Either way, I agree the Republican Congress is not asleep, they are afraid to rock their prized boat. But what the heck is wrong with so very many of the Dems? Tight races for their seats, enjoying the money, power and perks (legal and less, like insider trading, etc?), fear of reprisals? IDK. To them, WAKE UP indeed.

Why slag the Democrats? They are not responsible for this mess, far from it, and do not have the power to impeach and convict....which ummmm Republicans in Congress do have, in spades.

The solution here is to impeach, convict and repeat as necessary to defend and uphold a) the Constitution, and b) to protect the economy, c) to protect American workers, d) to maintain the reputation of America as a powerhouse both financially and morally, c) to declare categorically that lying, suppressing the vote, silencing the media, silencing any critics, silencing the judiciary....are not only wrong, they weaken the country.

How China must be chortling....

EXACTLY- stop blaming the Dems for Trump’s successes. They are filing lawsuits as fast as his illegal acts are announced. Trump holds the office of president and both houses of Congress, plus a majority of the Supreme Court.

Dems are speaking out. The big chance will be the mid-term elections in November 2026.

VOTE ALL DEMOCRAT IN YOUR STATE LEGISLATURE AND CONGRESSIONAL SEATS.

Hate to say it, as I used to be an R, but they have all been neutered by this criminal’s threats.

Congressional Democrats (both House and Senate). with the exception of a few like Bernie, AOC, Booker, Crockett, and maybe a few others are completely feckless and not worth the powder to blow them to hell.

Are they? Or is it just that Republicans hold the power in Congress?

I only see a handful standing up to this nonsense. MAGAts holding the power does not exuse timidity and inaction.
