They aren't "thwarting the will" of the Democrats in Congress, who believe they have the right to resist Republicans by any means necessary, and have no compunctions about doing so. They know their partners in the MSM will explain and justify whatever they do in the most convincing manner possible. They know they don't have to worry about the point of view of DJT or the Republicans being given the slightest respect, or even carried.
Being a Democrat means never having to say you’re sorry.
