Given the timidity of Biden's administration and Senate Democrats so far, I don't think folks close to the Democratic Party grasp just how precarious a position their institution is in, how thin of ice they're walking.
They are an out of touch ruling class. They are comfortable, powerful, & wealthy. They don't understand that that's only how it is for about 10-20% of the population. It's a situation common prior to the fall of empires. The rulers don't understand the plight of the ruled.
