Oh, the dems definitely can't. Their whole thing is a continued erosion of quality of life for the general populace, while occasionally being physically dragged kicking and screaming into passing some meaningful social legislation (gay marriage and the like). But people still like Obama despite being an empty suit whose job was to ruin their lives because he played the role well. The fact that they can't even do that anymore is quite worrisome.

Agreed that Trump doesn't really want to do anything because he's a lazy fool. The real concern imo will be the guy who comes after Trump who is an ideologically committed fascist who is able to capitalize on the shift in the overton window. The dems will do nothing to oppose this, as you pointed out.
