If Our Current Situation With Tr**p & The Repugs Were Entirely Switched Around And It Was A Dem President & The Dems....

(and when I say entirely switched around I mean - the Cabinet appointments; the cronies hired to do as the Dem president says; the hiring of people loyal to the Dem president; DOGE; the enemies list; the deportations; the racism; the MAGA's would be on the Dem side; the balance of power in Congress and in the States would be the same only flipped; the make up of SCOTUS [from 6 R's & 3 D's to 6 D's and 3 R's] down to ICE in the streets; engaging the Nat'l Guard; the pardon's that went down [J6ers/Santos]; the grifting; the plane from Qatar; threatening invoking the Insurrection Act; the threat of never leaving the WH; the cheating and stealing of elections; the lying and making up of stories and conspiracies right on the spot; and right down to the demo of the East Wing to make room for a Ballroom in the WH)

Basically everything the same - except the DEMS would be doing what the REPUGS are doing now and the REPUGS would be struggling to deal with the end of Democracy.

HOW WOULD THE REPUGS HANDLE THE SITUATION?

What would they do?

I don't think they would just sit back and not do anything, They would take some action. What would that be? Would they look as helpless as we are now dealing with this situation?

I sit here and wonder about things like this!!!
