Our Democratic experiment is under a full blitzkrieg. And too many Democrats really believe that remaining calm and quiet is the best tactic in defense. Sen. Chuck Schumer and others really believe that we should not challenge this blitzkrieg because these anti-democratic corrupt forces will just destroy themselves before they completely undo the American government and decency.

Schumer and others bring paddles to this struggle. Schumer really believes that siding with the Trump-supporting Republicans on their continuing resolution spending bill will just supply the room for Trump and his gang to destroy themselves. I am not sure he really believes this or if he is finding a way to persist in a Trump world.

Whatever his motives are, he seems to have become a Vichy-like official, an official who collaborates with fascists in order to find a comfort within this fascism, perhaps imagining that he can do a good thing or two in a Trump world. This is a pipe dream at best. This type of thinking is just giving Trump all he needs to continue to rape and pillage our Constitution, our country and its people.
