I don't think Democrats are silent, and I don't blame them for doing what they were elected to do--legislate. The Republicans are backed by billions and billions of propaganda, and the major media has pretty much collapsed into that morass. Whatever Democrats say will be cast as 'one side'-- although it tends to be the truth countered by a Republican lie.

I also think this is buoyed up by white supremacy. Fox News has been telling a lot of people what they want to hear, and major media is SO guilty of looking for a fight to catch the eyes of their ever less attentive readers.

The COUNTRY has a big problem, and Democrats, as the largest and most powerful human rights organization in the country, will take a big role in solving it. And surely there's much we could have done better. But a corrupt and evil right wing that feeds on white supremacy and has infected the Supreme Court is the issue, to me.
