It sounds to me like these Trump freaks have no fear at this point.

Either that, or they're worried, and want to move things faster. I keep wondering if we're going to start to see people dying (murdered) soon.
These are certainly creepy times, DU friends.

If the Republicans keep pretending that nothing is happening so they can grab power... we will loose our democracy and they will all be rich.

6. They don't have to fear the Democrats because they control nothing.

They don't have to fear the department of Justice or FBI at a federal level because they control it. And from that, they don't have to fear a conservative Supreme Court because they control what goes to criminal court at a federal level.

A Blue state Attorney General might be the Dems best shot if they can pin something on Trump and his cronies. But that might be tough to do from a state ... (I'm not sure - time will tell)
