No one is going to make a stand until the wheels fall off the one issue that put him in office: the economy. It's hard to say what the trigger is or when it'll occur, but when it does happen, it's going to be fatal. If I had to guess, 8-10 more months.

I'd personally be shocked if it took 8-10 months to get there, but you'd THINK that an economic downturn would get the attention of Congress. But there's still 1-2 years at that point before any new elections.

There's obviously the outcome they want - Trump rules as a dictator, they destroy the federal government, have their dreams of Hungary/Russia West. The fall of democracy, etc, etc. That's where they've been driving so far, and haven't faced any significant obstacles thus far.

Neither the Republicans in Congress or the judicial branch have shown any sign that they're going to take action against the blatantly illegal actions so far. Not that their "we are the party of the Constitution" talk was ever sincere, but they're clearly here to enable.

I'm not convinced laws mean anything at this point, truly. What good are they when there's no deterrent?

Democratic leadership is still trying to pretend that we are in normal times. No united opposition, no united messaging. A few individuals (AOC, Crockett, etc) are trying to push back, but the leadership isn't on board. 3rd parties are vanity projects and in hiding.
