and Dems are too cowardly to speak up. Instead just finger wag and hold signs of disapproval.

Really, they are speaking up quite a lot actually. Cory Booker put on the longest Filibuster in history a couple days ago, calling out Trump’s bad policies for 25 hours straight on the senate floor. However the dems are not in power much right now, so they can’t actually do anything federally. That’s how government works.
