Democrats Furious Republicans Trying To Control Government Just Because They Won Election

Democrats have unleashed furious attacks on Republicans for using winning the election as an excuse to try to take control of the government.

Democrats have accused Republicans of attempting to make decisions as to how the government ought to be run, as if Republicans were voted to be in charge.

"Winning the election gives Republicans no right to run this country," shouted Senator Elizabeth Warren at a protest. "They cannot simply come in and take control of governmental agencies simply because people voted for them. We must employ every means possible to resist this takeover."

Democrats have turned to the streets in anger as Republicans continue to assert that being elected puts them in charge. "People voting for Trump to be President doesn't magically make him the boss," explained Senator Schumer. "Trump cannot be allowed to come in and issue these executive orders, just because he is the Executive. Rest assured, the Democrats will fight with all of our hearts to stop the people who were elected from being in power."

At publishing time, Democrats had announced that the only thing Trump was actually allowed to be in charge of was pardoning that turkey on Thanksgiving.

That satire is classic Babylon Bee style—flipping the usual political accusations for comedic effect. The joke, of course, is the idea that Democrats are outraged by the basic concept of electoral consequences, as if winning an election shouldn’t allow Republicans to govern. It’s a playful exaggeration of real-world political disputes over legitimacy, power transitions, and executive authority.

The humor works because it taps into the broader theme of resistance politics, where opposition parties often challenge or delegitimize newly elected leaders. The closing punchline about only allowing Trump to pardon the Thanksgiving turkey is a solid touch—reducing presidential authority to its most trivial function.
