It is literally your job to prevent these concerns. Stop talking and do something. The old fucks who refuse to leave office have been collecting paychecks while sitting back and doing nothing, progressively giving away their power to the executive branch for the past ~20 years. Now they're concerned? Too little, too late. Either step up (but watch out for broken hips) or get out of the way.
This is the same excuse I've heard for 15 years, even while they had a majority. Meanwhile, Republicans seem able to get shit done even while in the minority. I'm tired of excuses. Do something useful or get the fuck out of government.
We can take a look at what Republicans do without a majority: stall for time, attack the moral character of the opposition, find loopholes in the procedural process that you're technically not disallowed to do but annoy the shit out of everyone, and generally be as obstructionist as possible.
I guess they're supposed to take over the Capitol with guns and body armor or else we will continue to removed and moan about the Democrats being the problem after we told everybody how apathetic we were about voting for them.
Off the top of my head, individual lawmakers could have put holds on his cabinet nominees to slow down their consideration and limit the amount of damage they could do, but instead they let people like Marco Rubio sail through and only started exercising that power on lower level appointments after Rubio had already destroyed USAID
Use their positions as public officials to rally support, reach out to their union and activist allies to plan mass demonstrations and strikes, use the filibuster?
I want to caution my Republican colleagues that the precedents that the Trump administration is establishing could be followed by a future Democratic president
Sad that they're still telling themselves they're getting another election.
They're living in denial that their country is run by Nazis and they need to resist Nazis. They still think if they point out that the Nazis are being unreasonable they will realize the error of their ways and stop it.
