Wrong. They can obstruct congress. Call for quorums and demand full roll calls in the Senate. The might even get the chance to filibuster a bill or two. They can use every precious second of time on the floor to drag the Republicans to a grinding halt. You know, all that stuff the Republicans did during Obama's presidency. At the very least they could come up with an idea that's not, 'Trump is fascist, don't vote for fascists' cause that's obviously not working. There's still a lot the Democrats can do and saying they can't because they're not the majority shows your colossal lack of civic engagement and education. Democrats could pressure federal judges to put injunctions on Trump's executive orders that go directly against the Constitution.

The Democrats had a year and a half to prepare for this contingency and they were so convinced that they couldn't possibly lose that they literally didn't think a plan for if they lost was necessary. Now they're saying we're powerless and it's not their fault. Yeah it's not the Democrats fault Trump is back in power, but it's their problem. They just won't do anything because their elite donors don't want them to.
