If I hear pundits or elected Democrats say, "we're heading towards a constitutional crisis" again, I'm going to lose it!

[Chasstev365]

We've been in a Constitution crisis since January 20, 2017.
My God; wasn't January 6, 2021 the ultimate "Constitution crisis?"

Stop pretending Trump is anything but a deranged, meglomanaic, who has never had any intention of following the Constitution.

[Irish_Dem]

1. We will all be living in concentration camps but still just be "heading towards a crisis."

[AZJonnie]

2. The word "chilling" is getting old fast as well, as in "having a chilling effect on XYZ"

Not only is that word mostly associated with a 'positive' to like 1/2 the population, even in its negative connotation also significantly downplays the situation being referred to by roughly an order of magnitude in the majority of cases.

[Efilroft Sul]

12. The phrase you mentioned has been so overused that it could stop global warming if it actually meant anything.

[hannah]

16. As is the word

Unprecedented!
Sick of it

[AZJonnie]

20. Hear, Hear!

That one too, for SURE

[BaronChocula]

22. Then don't read this breaking headline...

Former Treasury Secretary says attacks on Fed Governor Lisa Cook should be 'chilling' for Americans.

3. They are "Concerned"

And it is worrisome, troublesome, and all the other watered down thoughts they can come up with.
We are at the point were we will be shot in the streets, by our own soldiers. Way past the level of concern they seem to have.
Part of the second amendment is all that’s left.
When the masses of militias that are hell bent on taking over a corrupt government realize they put it in power, and plan to use all those weapons against this madness, the second amendment will be gone as well. Then ICE goes house to house to take away the precious boom boom sticks. ICE Barbie out front in a new outfit daily, to take them, and keep a lot of em for unruly puppies.

[BaronChocula]

4. Some people's only contribution to the fight

is speaking in safe overused clichés.

[mcar]

17. Yeah, like "strongly worded letter"

[PatSeg]

5. Yes, "Constitutional crisis" has been overused

I need these people to define exactly what IS a constitutional crisis?

[RandiFan1290]

6. December 12, 2000 already forgotten.

[czarjak]

15. Thanks W.

You pulled it off!

[Bluetus]

18. So many from the Brooks Bros riot

Are right in the middle of this fascism. Somebody should do a "Where are they now" book.

Start with the Chief of the most corrupted institution of all.

[maxsolomon]

7. As long as the Supremes approve everything he's doing

there's no Crisis.

There may no longer be a Constitution, sure...

[absyntheminded]

8. "Unprecedented"

Ten times a day, every day of the week.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

11. Or, as Trump would say...

"Unpresidented!"

[Mr.Bee]

13. That's Right

And trump is the precedent of the United States!

[ananda]

9. This is exactly right.

And we are already in a fascist dictatorship, btw.

[DownriverDem]

10. Stay calm

A lot of folks aren't paying attention. They need to be told.

[yankee87]

14. Fascist takeover

We are now living in a fascist nation. All it’s taken is a the pedo owning the police force and the national guard. We will never have an election again.

[Warpy]

19. To be completely fair, Democrats are hamstrung until the next election

because Congress is the only branch of government that has a chance of shifting back any time soon.

If that happens, then I hope we'll see some real provocation instead of hand wringing. Right now, only the latter is possible.

[Magoo48]

21. Even if true, ever expanding, courageous public direct-actions taking place daily across the USA demand strong support.

Seeing some of our democratic congress critters fighting so damn hard casts a harsh light onto those exhibiting considerably less than enthusiastic responses to this fascist onslaught. This situation is inspiring and infuriating in turn.
There is hamstrung and tenacious, and then there is hamstrung and cowed.
