And is there any particular reason why a political crisis should be averted? Any particular reason why the administration would not have to be frantically diverting is attention to these issues for the next couple of weeks until some kind of crescendo results in a resolution?
Resistance means making them have to pay a price every step of the way. Each day they don’t have to spend their effort to go on TV to do some petty politicking is a day where they have the bandwidth to spin doctor the events in Minneapolis.
Ending funding for many of these agencies would harm the most vulnerable americans. Unlike Republicans, the DNC understand the cost is some number of human lives which inherently have value.
The most vulnerable people in your country are already being hunted down and put in concentration camps. Helping the fascists keep the lights on is not resistance.
If you are not ready to do political and institutional resistance that actually raises the stakes, you will create the conditions where people will either have to choose complete capitulation to fascism or violent insurrection.
Hey Yanks, is this what resisting trumpist fascism looks like?
The bill is also funding education, human services, transportation, etc. Cutting all of those agencies isn’t resisting Trumpism in the least, either.

I’m Greek-Canadian. In Greece, yankee go home is a classic anti-american slogan in leftist circles.
I don’t know where you found the “tons of posts encouraging violence”. I have made multiple posts encouraging non-violent resistance.
edit: here is precisely what I was commenting 6 days ago about violence: https://lemmy.ca/post/58814479/21200438
We should look to Greece for examples of how to stop the Nazis.
Travelled with a Canadian on K’gari years ago.
He called them ‘Yankees’ constantly.

I for real don’t know what the fuck is going on.
It’s a classic good cop bad cop routine.
They work for the same boss, that’s what’s going on.
No it fucking isn’t.
GOP needs to go
DNC needs to go
Their level of activism is putting various hashtags in their socials bio
Don’t be too harsh, there’s a few out there doing movie and philosophical quotes.
I know, it’s not voting or anything but it’s something.
