This is the fight in the Democratic Party, so many years of being afraid has made them forget that they have power and agency.
Despite the way people have tried to rewrite history, the Iraq War was a GOP idea that Democrats went along with because after 9/11 the party was afraid of being perceived as weak on terrorism. It took the American people to turn on the war and drag Democrats to that position.

America, it’s time for our Juggalo Phase.
“Agents can identify people on the street through facial recognition, trace their movements through license-plate readers and, in some cases, use commercially available phone-location data to reconstruct daily routines and associations.” All surveillance tools people have pushed back on for ages…
DHS ramps up surveillance in immigration raids, sweeping in citizens
The Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis is providing insights into the surveillance technologies the government is using in its mass deportation campaign.

Trump's core audience is people who don't leave their houses, either because they have no interests or they're terrified of the outside world. Say something on TV and it's effectively Real to them. Democrats can't replicate that speaking to an audience of people whose lives involve the real world.

My wife took over crowd control at the freakin’ U of Michigan graduation when a snafu at one gate made everyone crash to the other one. Cops with AR’s stood around doing nothing as traffic stopped, including emergency vehicles unable to move. She took over. White women, be careful yo
You don't know crowd management until you've supervised 12 kids in a building without heat for two hours because the main office told you "oh yeah it's steam heat the radiators just need a minute to warm up"

Let me put it another way: I have no hope or expectation for Democratic leadership. But a year ago mass protest and outrage couldn’t even get a single pro–Palestine speaker at the DNC, and today we have Chuck Schumer calling to hold federal agents accountable. That’s… Something. It really is.
Democrats, a party that only a week ago you would say I’m insane if I told you were advocating any form of law enforcement reform, are now threatening a shutdown on realistic, immediate ways to rein in ICE and the left’s response is “better things aren’t possible.” Why are we like this
Genuine question about Senate Democrats' new demands re: DHS funding:
What reason is there to believe that, even if they were passed, the Trump administration would comply?

You could hear Mike Duncan saying “and the Democrats did…nothing.” in the future Revolutions podcast.
Failing to hold Trump accountable along every available dimension, including immediately prosecuting every crime he committed - some of which had already been investigated in depth - is perhaps the most pathetic political decision in US history. And so many people are like “Actually, it’s fine.”

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying
