It is mainly about Trump's foreign policy and Ukraine in particular but I think the general sentiments could be applied writ large. He is going to break a bunch of eggs with the implication that he's making an omelet (the best omelet, an omelet,
so good, people tell me there's never been one better, not in the history of our country) except that at the end there won't actually be an omlet, just a mess.
I think you're right that at this current moment there's not much the Democrats can do besides let this play out to some degree. Elections have consequences and they lost. Eventually they then have to come up with a vision about what a better future (or omelet) actually looks like, and sell it with something resembling a authenticity. For the time being it's probably too early for that. Things had to get really messed up during the Bush years before Obama calibrated a compelling counter punch. I expect this will be similar.

There was an article a few weeks ago by Kevin Williamson called 'Where's the Omelet?'
