There is a reason that the Democrats do not put up much of a fight against the extreme right-wing Republican agenda that is being pushed by the White House:

It would mean a fight. A real knock-down, drag-out, ugly, bitter, country-splitting fight.

The Democrats are such spineless wimps that they are afraid of being called (erroneously) a Communist, a terrorist, or unpatriotic.

Not to mention that they are up against a unelected draconian regime.

Also, the murder of Paul Wellstone sends a clear message to outspoken liberals. "Go against our agenda and you will be targeted for 'removal'." And the Democrats are acutely aware of this.
