First of all, if you consider Manchin and Sinema to be fascists, that's your issue.

Second of all, they didn't give them the boot because that would cost them control of the Senate, which, however, tenuous, still matters.

Manchin glazing Trump at his 2024 inauguration speaks words, even without his problematic voting record on immigration, the border wall, or routinely blocking the Democratic agenda - to me runs beyond the ‘sensible silent majority’ centrism tropes, and veers to bedfellows of fascism:

I also extend my congratulations to [President Trump on his victory. He is our President, and I am committed to supporting him in moving this country forward…

As we reflect on this election, one lesson stands out clearly: The candidate who appeals to the sensible majority of Americans – the center – wins… In this 2024 election, Trump was again the candidate better able to connect with the concerns of the sensible majority – prioritizing the economy, securing our borders, and responding to the core needs of working Americans.
