This is no time for Democrats to “roll over and play dead,” writes Julian Zelizer .

If Democrats don’t protect norms and intuitions, no one else will, he says.

Zelizer : GOP elected officials seem to care more about keeping their seats in Congress regardless of whether the institution loses its constitutional authority.

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten highlighted last month how Musk ’s popularity had plunged, with the majority ( 53% ) opposing him.

Just 36% of independents support the idea of Musk having a key role in the Trump administration.

Rolling over and playing dead, even if considered as a short-term solution, could be seen as the opposition party giving up.
