The problem, I believe, is that most Democrats are institutionalists who will defend the rule of law even when it means handing the reigns over to a group who have openly declared hostility towards it. They are also afraid that using any kind of force to stop Trump and his cronies will trigger violent rebellion and they know who owns most of the guns in this country. They're playing a trolley problem game but because they don't really have progressive values they aren't putting, say, Ukraine, Palestine and the entire fucking climate on the "peaceful transfer of power" track.
We need a party with higher values than just "defending institutions."
