    They aren’t the ones who are undoing the achievements. The rich rightwingers are doing it. They employ a bunch of different channels, including some amount of useful idiots on the left, who are doing their bidding without understanding.
    The right can do it because they aren’t bound by any morals, or adherence to decorum, or fear of retaliation, or fear of change in general. Dems are the party of moderate gradual adherence to status quo and maybe moderate change for slightly better, if it’s not too bothersome. And the left for some reason hates the second more that the first, so they aren’t helping.

      Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

      If you agree the Democrats are aiming for “adherence to the status quo and maybe moderate change for the slightly better, if it’s not too bothersome” and you still don’t understand why that isn’t good enough for people being disappeared by agents of the state, I just don’t know what to tell you.
