Not speaking about the democrat party specifically, but about society in general: people are pissed because no one seems to be stepping up and becoming a leader to guide us through what's obviously a fascist and authoritian take over of our country. We'll all just kinda sitting at home reading news and getting mad, but no one seems to be leading country wide protests (that I've heard about at least) or taking a legal, and physical stand against the forceful government takeovers. And we need to be doing it now before our ability to communicate and self organize is taken away (x, Facebook, etc) there's no central place to get a message out country wide anymore because our communication is getting fractured.
Who knows, maybe no on is stepping up because the country seems to have actually voted for this so its what 'the people' want. Who knows. All I know is I'm fucking terrified because my social circle has been in denial about how bad this is going to get, I still hear things like 'he can't do that, its illegal' or 'he can't do that, he doesn't have the power to, that's such-and-such's job'. Not admitting that to a fascist, laws don't matter. He can do whatever he wants now.
