Time for the Dems to shout in unison:

Then F You. Shut it down because we're not budging. In fact, those tariffs are also a sticking point, as in illegal. So add that to our list (scribbling now), as well as military occupation, then shut the whole damn thing down.

Your choice. On your watch. All of it.

This is what democracy sounds like, full-on resistance to the on-going coup against America and her people.
