Would still be more effective than...whatever it is that they're doing.
They can't do anything except block and delay bills.
They can't filibuster cabinet picks or court confirmations. They can filibuster bills but the only bill in the process of discussion is the federal budget and the Republicans win whether it doesn't pass and shuts down the federal governments or it does pass and cuts a trillion in benefits that help american working class so they can cut taxes for the rich.
So they can do nothing.
They can obstruct. And they aren't even doing that.
They can radicalize people to resist the tyrant.
They can do an awful lot with that Bully Pulpit they all have, by nature of their office.
They cannot obstruct cabinet picks or judge appointments, since 2013 and 2017 respectively.
They can obstruct bills such as the new budget proposal by fillibuster, but that will cause government shutdown and the Republicans win either way, tbh. (I think they should filibuster it, but I expect people like you to complain either way).
Won't see me complaining about anyone halting the progress if fascists.
