"Democrats are passive and timorous in the face of public opinion that isn’t squarely in their corner, whereas Republicans look at an adverse poll number and say, ‘OK, how do we change it?’"
Democrats: This Is War. Isn’t It Time You Acted Like It?

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

The new administration is extreme, but that is not an excuse to say "there's no point." Also: The Trump administration has already started to take action at SCOTUS.
