The reaction to what Trump is doing seems VERY inadequate to me

[Alhena]

Hoyer is the only one on our side of the fence treating this with the seriousness it deserves. It is now clear that a slow-motion coup is in progress. Why have impeachment hearings not been announced? Why isn't Biden screaming bloody murder about this?

1. I agree nt

[empedocles]

2. Georgia election important and influential for a number of options

[andym]

3. Needs to be brought out that Trump is trying to steal the election, not "stop the steal"

This is causing severe damage to democracy in the American republic and millions of his supporters have bought it, some are willing to fight to the death according to media reports. Scary stuff, that needs to be shot down.

4. Even here on DU, most seem to be...

“Oh, just go back to sleep and leave me alone”.

7. The rat is still in the attic.

It's foolish to pretend he's gone

[intrepidity]

5. Our side really must improve in vocalizing outrage

Particularly when it is so objectively warranted.

[dalton99a]

6. Trump is trying to nullify election results wherever and however he can.

[cwydro]

8. I agree.

It’s becoming disturbing to me.

I can see Biden staying out of it, but our leadership should be speaking up.

9. I agree, but all we get is that "Trump will fail". I'm not so sure of that.

Every time someone said "he can't", he did. Every time someone said "he won't get away with it", he did. "Unprecedented" is no longer a reliable indication that something won't become a precedent. I'm nervous. But when I say that here I'm called a fear monger. I worry that only one side is on the offensive here, while we rely on the courts and the good judgement of republican governors and legislators to not give in to stop Trump.

10. I'm with you on this.

I want someone, or rather a lot of someones, yelling from the tops of buildings that they are trying to steal our democracy and that the republicans are doing horrific damage to our systems of government. This should not be a time for civility and I wish I knew how to make more noise or at least make more of a nuisance of myself. I fell basically impotent and I feel like Biden and his team are way too soft spoken. I wish they'd turn Kamala loose on it.

11. If this were the other way around

they would be shouting everywhere....hell, they are the ones doing it and they are shouting and our side is saying nothing.

I'm happy that Hoyer said something, but more need to speak out and speak about what is happening. I get the feeling that everyone has been told to keep quiet, but why? Why give the other side free rein to set the narrative?

12. So far he's failing. The conspiracy theories are going nowhere

except in right-wing circles. I believe we should save our outrage for the minuscule chance that he succeeds at anything. After a while, screaming just becomes screaming. If he gets an INCH toward getting what he wants, that is the time to pounce.
