This is the second time Donald Trump has been elected with full control of both the House and Senate. It is not surprising that an old man in the same scenario would behave the same.
The comic is mocking the democrats for spending the last 4 years pretending they were completely powerless, just like they did in the 4 years leading to Trump pt I. The US president is one of the most powerful executives.
It’s almost as if there’s a pressure on one, but not on the other.
I always like to point out how there’s art of these two characters fucking by the same author

It’s funny to me how often we (I’ve been guilty of this) look at satire and think how amazingly they predicted the future, when they were really just commenting on their present and maybe extrapolating a little bit.
I wonder if Wag the Dog nearly mirroring the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal one month later counts.
First-past-the-post voting is a hostage situation and should be treated like the crisis it is. Electoral reform at the state level will give the people the freedom to vote how they want. Who could be against that?

Promise overwhelmingly popular left policy, start implementing it in the states you control, use every tool at your disposal to block republican policy. If the courts have to kill your legislation or governor’s orders, make them do it, and if possible, do it in ways that can’t be undone, such as forgiveness of debts.
eg, if you have the legislature and there is a republican governor, strip all powers from the governorship until you have it again. If you’re in the minority party, block everything that you wouldn’t do if you had total control while telling the public it is exactly what you will do when you get power. Stop pretending the courts are apolitical, appoint judges that will help you accomplish your agenda and will block the republicans.
Build power at the local level by responding to your constituents needs. Even if you didn’t win the elections, democrats need to work with unions and local organizations, not expect loyalty while ignoring them and providing no resources.
Under no circumstances do you agree to republican framing and suggest you need to build the wall, engage in trade wars with China, fund the police to stop a crime wave, try to be the “patriotic” party etc. You cannot outflank the republicans from the right.
When Trump’s ICE blackbags a student, we don’t need Chuck Schumer out there agreeing with Trump that he is a horrible person for supporting Palestine but disagreeing with Trump’s methods.
