What, if anything, are the Democrats doing to stop Trump and his cronies? (lemmy.ml)

I blocked a lot of political keywords, so I am genuinely asking because I might be ill informed. What concrete actions have the Democrats taken to block, stop, or reverse Trumps illegal actions?

Again, I am genuinely asking.

The answer is nothing. The Democratic Party went into shell shock after the elections repudiated over 30 years of established norms. We clearly need something new and fresh, based around class politics. The real villains are the 1% who sit on boards and play both sides. Until we have a political party that stands up for the other 99%, we are fucked. The entire two-party system is rigged against true representation and is instead controlled by special interests. Trump is no better than the neoliberals who helped create him.
