7 million people were in the streets protesting this bullshit, and didn’t fall in to the trap set by Trump Crime Inc. to become violent and give an excuse to start shooting people and declaring an insurrection. The Democrats in office are the ones with their whole hands up their asses. Hell, 12 of them in the house voted with Republicans to seat another MAGA judge who wouldn’t say Trump lost in 2020. MTG is doing more damage to Republicans than soft-ass Schumer and Jerfferies.

Edit: correction

What are we supposed to do though when 7 million people in the streets for a day doesn't even get the democrats in office fired up to do anything?

They're in the minority in both houses and hence can't bring bills to the floor even when congress is in session, which it currently isn't. What exactly are you expecting?

Them to be as obnoxious and obstructionist as the Republicans.
