@revelette1,
I think in this matter it is a bit unfair to accuse the Democrats of being unwilling to fight. On the contrary, fighting Trump has been their sole obsession for the past two years. I believe something far different is motivating them now
Following eight years of lassitude in two Obama Administrations during which Russia invaded Armenia, seized Crimea and invaded eastern Ukraine without comment or action from Obama ( other than whispered requests to Medvedev that he assure Vladimir (Putin) that he (Obama) would have more flexibility after the election) , a Putin controlled firm bought the Uranium mines in Canada that were the source of a major part of our Uranium, and paid off both the Clinton Foundation and husband Bill handsomely for their services to it. Accompanying this Hillary as Sec. State organized the truly silly "Reset" of our relations with the very Russians they vilify now. Overall not a very tough posture toward the Russians they so energetically vilify now.
Then in 2016, suddenly, confronted with the weakness of their presidential candidate, Hillary, the same Democrats, out of the blue, suddenly "saw" great danger from Russia, and contrived an imaginary Russian conspiracy with their domestic political opponent in a struggle to retain the Presidency.
Since the election Democrats have adopted a campaign of "resistance " (their word) towards everything proposed by the new administration notwithstanding their civic duties under the constitution regarding the operation of our government). Indeed they have shown a disposition to "fight" the Trump administration at every turn.
Now, after nearly two years of this drama, the facts involving the corruption of the last Administration and candidate Hillary Clinton are beginning to capture public notice, as are the facts concerning their collusion with government officials, the Hillary campaign ( and its puppet DNC) to discredit their political opponent with a contrived conspiracy with the very Russian government which they so supinely accommodated for eight years.
I believe what you are seeing now is, not so much an unwillingness to fight, as a raw fear that evidence of their misdeeds is beginning to come out and that the public is beginning to grasp the self-serving conspiracy they have contrived. Some of the key figures in this drama are beginning to see real personal legal liability in the information that is unfolding. For these folks, consumed as they have been with the supposed "rightness" of their cause and the intrinsic evil of their political opponents, this is indeed a very unsettling moment.
Equally significant is the fact that other than this "resistance" to everything Trump, they have offered no coherent policy alternatives on any of the central issues affecting the country.
I expect the present political turbulence will continue for some time. However the tide is shifting against the Democrats and the foundation of their only unifying element, the resistance to Trump, is starting to unravel.
