I think you underestimate how important this moment was and how thunderously pathetic chuck shumer was in his meeting of that moment.
There are plenty of fascist republicans like jd vance, trump, bannon steve miller, that are obviously hated because they caused this, but the truth is, and even I can admit this as a leftist, chuck shumer is even more pathetic than they are.
I am not bothsides-ing things here, fascist republicans are the clear threat and cause of this, but by far and away I despise chuck shumer more, he wanted immense responsibility and power but apparently is utterly incapable and unwilling to use it to stop a literal coup.
It is like the rich kid demanding the lead role in a play that other more talented and driven kids wanted and then proceeding to utterly half ass the role so it ruins the play even though everyone else on stage is pouring their hearts into it.
Chuck shumer spit in the face of everyone who is still fighting that is why he will go down in US history as one of the most made fun of US political figures by people across the political spectrum.
When the clear enemy are the people promoting and creating fascism, I see you focused on a person failing to stand up to it. I do agree it is a huge missed opportunity, but it will be a long term struggle and you might be getting distracted here with infighting.
Sure, we can be angry and learn that we can’t trust this person as much as we hoped, but then we move on and keep pushing to our larger goals.
Nah dawg, this is exactly the kind of attitude that loses to fascism.
What you do is mercilessly make fun of Chuck Shumer until the end of time, you make his name synonomous with a fake performative opposition to terrifying evil. You make his name synonomous with being a phony coward.
No, why the hell would we let this slide? These are the moments that we must make sure are marked and understood for history both in history books and in the collective conscious of everyday people. Chuck Shumer threw away the last bit of resistance, snipped the last brakes on the fascism train and he did so with incredible smugness.
Nope, lol, we don’t move on from this, I mean we do, but we move on with our new found love of making fun of Chuck Shumer for being the worst kind of dangerous idiot.
I can think of at least one person in a more prominent position who I feel is more widely despised and made fun of than Schumer.
