    *Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a high-profile progressive, said he believes “the most effective pushback to Trump’s unconstitutional actions is to model a reverence for the Constitution and the rule of law.”

      I think it’s fair to call the democrats the Conservative Party. The republicans are regressives, certainly. But the people plead for systemic change, and the democrats are just trying to conserve the same failed order that got us to this point.

            I see them as basically leaning super hard into white man’s burden type racism and imperialism except they’ve replaced it with american and western capitalist burden so it’s less obviously racist and they can feel even more smug and superior to the rest of humanity

              The theoretical roots of the US political divide goes back to: “We should kill all the natives because they’re racially inferior” vs “As a progressive, the natives are only culturally inferior, and if we destroy their culture and force them to adopt ours at gunpoint, we can make them civilized.” Underneath it all, that’s who they each are.

      First of all, this shit isn’t unconstitutional. That’s up to the Supreme court and they seem fine with it. Second, we have the premiere bourgeois constitution. That thing isn’t doing shit for me. The bill of rights we’re all supposed to love is just a list of things the state can’t do on your behalf.

    “What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and … a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people,” said an eighth House Democrat.
    “Not only would that be a gift to Donald Trump, not only would it make the job of Republicans in Congress easier if we were all mired in legal troubles … [we are] a group that is disproportionately people of color, women, LGBTQ people — people who do not fare very well in prison.”
