If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

Every Republican senator shares responsibility for what’s happening. They are complicit in, and share responsibility for, whatever mess Trump’s dangerous nominees cause.
But a few GOP senators from purple(ish) states face reelection next year — and we’re going to shine a light on their complicity.

What to do about Republican complicity
Republican senators have taken some bad votes over the past week. Really, really bad.

Tonight, I tried to pass an amendment to have a nonpartisan watchdog, GAO, conduct a basic review and audit of DOGE. Everyone should be for more transparency but every Republican in our committee markup voted NO. What are they scared of finding out?

If Republicans really wanted to cut costs for families, then they wouldn’t slash the funds we use to educate and feed our kids, cut access to health care coverage, allow oil companies to pollute our air and water, and shovel even more money to defense contractors.

I hear that Elon Musk and DOGE are looking to balance out the federal budget.
Instead of gutting USAID (which is less than 1% of our federal budget), let’s pass my Ultra Millionaire Tax Act, which would bring in $3 TRILLION over 10 years.

This.
Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.
