Let's imagine there was a deep, detailed Dem strategy that's now in play..

....a strategy to (knowing that TFG will foul everything up, crush every plan his handlers have put forward)) let it rip --- let him go wild, ruining the GOP quickly, making every possible wild choice and error.
Chaos.
He is capable of rendering absolute chaos.
Maybe clever Dem strategists decided to let him burn, ; let him demonstrate fully his inadequacy to the world. let him become an object of ridicule and failure.

2. Can we dispense with the "let him" talk when Dems are completely out of power?

Dems are not "letting him" do jack shit, because Dems have ZERO ability to control or restrain him.

You know that Archimedes saying "Give me a place to stand and a lever long enough and I can move the world"? Well Dems have no place to stand, no lever, and no fulcrum.

8. Thank you. "Why don't Democrats stop/why do they let/allow ___ ?" as if they can but just don't want to is so stupid.

4. What they can do is speak up, loudly.

Or file an impeachment resolution. It won't go anywhere but it should get air time for people to speak out about all the unspeakable things he's been doing.

5. It would have to switch over from primarily passive to active resistance in the next couple months

Won't be long (my over/under is six months) until the national damage is too great to ever repair. Plus, the longer this goes on, the harder organized resistance becomes. So there's a pretty sharp drop-off in ROI over time to this kind of strategy. We should see the beginnings of an active phase within a week or two if this is the case.

Or there's no plan at all anymore and we're fretting uselessly in varying degrees of alienated isolation as human civilization dies around us, anticipating the arrival of purposeful leadership that never comes. AKA the Waiting For Godot scenario.

I think we'll have our answer by Valentine's Day.

Ezekiel 22: 23-31 (King James Version)

23 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.

26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.

29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God.
