Death by cop is when a perp wants to commit suicide but is too cowardly so he/she goads the police into killing him.
Well this is death by politics. The Republicans are too cowardly to pull away from what is sure destruction so they block out warnings signing wearing eye patches and earmuffs because they deep down they can't do it on their own so they will follow the leader going down down down down down.
Death Politics. Never so apparent and present as it is today.
