MODERATORS
They can obstruct. And they aren't even doing that.
They can radicalize people to resist the tyrant.
They can do an awful lot with that Bully Pulpit they all have, by nature of their office.
Unfortunately, they choose to use the Bully Pulpit like this vignette...
Linkara: Should we do something?
They cannot obstruct cabinet picks or judge appointments, since 2013 and 2017 respectively.
They can obstruct bills such as the new budget proposal by fillibuster, but that will cause government shutdown and the Republicans win either way, tbh. (I think they should filibuster it, but I expect people like you to complain either way).
Won't see me complaining about anyone halting the progress if fascists.
