That’s why a total Revolution is the only actual solution. If the Democrats wanted to try reform they would be acting completely different. They foreclose that possibility
Total Revolution is difficult and requires a very active, committed group of supporters acting both within and outside the administration. Absolutely something you want to aim for, but often the product of generations of struggle.
You could, for instance, argue that the current Trump/DOGE government is a kind of (counter-)revolution that is finally overturning the Progressive Era of liberal democratic government. But this was a project that played out over decades, with each new wave of outsiders agitating and being rebuffed and regrouping to try again, while moderates on the inside cleared more and more space for radicals to infiltrate and overturn the New Deal and the Warren Court.
The deeply unsettling and grisly truth is that Democrats are as much a part of the Trump/DOGE government as the Republicans. Liberals demand a return to Clinton-Era governance and Chuck Schumer responds by posting taco memes while complaining about Trump being weak on Iran. They have been as much a force in moving our country towards fascism as the Republicans, through constantly splitting and vilifying the progressive opposition while holding out deceitful promises of reforms they never planned to implement.
Like, we’re in the midst of a Revolution. It’s just not the kind folks on this site want.
