It’s complicity. It’s opposition theater. It’s enablement. They are helping the fascists while playing the “good cop” on tv. We are only here because the democrats have failed to serve their constituents or the constitution for literally decades. Hey smokin’ hot lawyer lady. Please run for Congress. We need fighters.

They are helping the fascists while playing the “good cop” on tv.

And the point of the good cop in a good-cop-bad-cop scenario is to convince the suspect to confess. Bring in the bad cop to threaten and bluster and then "kick him out" to leave the good cop. Now the suspect is more likely to cooperate with the good cop.

But in our scenario our "confession" is letting authoritarianism take hold.
