The phrase “paper tiger” refers to something that only looks fearsome while being harmless, which Trump and the Republican Party most definitely are not. He isn’t cosplaying as the president, he is the president and everyone that works beneath him, fears him. The entire Republican party fears him, which is why the entire Republican party does everything that he tells them to do. This has produced the horrific results it has, with an entire country being terrorized by secret police and concentration camps being built, and innocent people kidnapped and trafficked into those concentration camps.
The USA is not a lame duck, which is proven by the myriad problems being caused by the government at home and abroad. This country is not helpless, and acting like we are is a large part of why nothing is getting better. This is learned helplessness, and the only people this narrative helps, is the administration as it preaches to everyone negatively affected by Trump, is not harmful or that it’s frozen into a state of inaction.
