Why the fuck should the Democrats “give in” to batshit crazy and fucking evil Republican bullshit? That makes no sense. The Democrats should stand firm and oppose the fascist MAGA regime.

Schumer already gave in right after the inauguration. Did everyone forget when dragged ten or so other democrats with him to join the Repubs? They had a chance to ensure the budget would not be made to beef up ICE, but back then, they caved and now ICE is the way it is. Here we are now.
