Another day, another injunction; the lower courts are pushing back against several of Trump’s unlawful actions. But the consensus among left-leaning commentators seems to be that it isn’t enough; the Democrats should be doing more to stop the Trump onslaught. Is that true?
Let’s be real here–the public heard the argument about Trump being a threat to liberal democracy and rejected it. In addition, the Democrats don’t have a single leader who can command the internet and the airwaves the way Trump does. The resistance won’t have any political legs until the American people start feeling the negative effects of the Trump counterrevolution. For now, all we can do is point out the errors of Trump’s ways and rely on the courts to keep him under some degree of control.
Of course, if he starts violating court orders, that will call for different tactics.
