With each action of the White House, from the mass deportation to the domestic deployment of federal troops, the “opposition party” accepted the premises and did not offer an alternative.

Stop me when you have heard about it before: as an aggressive Maga policy initiative, which are included in the equipment, the Democrats only cause a message response and, as a rule, overcome the prospect of alienating an increasingly mythical political center. Since the initiative in question, the fear and terror sings, the advice on the separation of powers and usually violates everything left of normal life in the conditions of authoritarian siege, it becomes massively unpopular. Thus, the democratic political leaders who once fired themselves with the useful favorite that they keep the dry powder for the delayed moment of the confrontation, once again, will lose to grow the mood in real time.
It was a gloomy dynamic prevention of the Democrats of the institution from highlighting a serious alternative to the second regime of Trump’s administration, despotic and illegal endeavor, which made the immigration position of the president-one from his central political assets-as well as huge election of responsibility. It was the Saga Doge Rampage Saga via the executive department, which created zero significant financial economy and aligned basic federal initiatives, such as health care, weather forecasting and foreign aid, while the Senate Democrats continued GUM, appointed more appointed government offices. But the only thing is approaching His interviewed public supportWith the rating of the agency’s approval of just over 40 percent, and his godfather Elon Musk is much lower. The same old saw was also a fair description of the logic of bankruptcy, which pushed the minority leader of the Senate Chuck Fold as a cheap suit In the first budget analysis of Trump’s second term. This specific show of democratic inertia directly led to the draft bill on Trump’s signature and taxation, which now has election numbers of the president still underwater that GOP is feverishly tries to restore it all As something that is definitely non-drop in the working class taxes.
Now, at the accelerated news period, this is the oldest song and dances in response to the fascist mobilization of the Trump administration federal and national troops on Washington streets, Colombia. Democrats once again treated any reaction to this brown shirt from a non -existent wave of violent crimes. Fearing to appear “soft in the crime”, they greatly tried to reflect Trump’s action as “distracting” to focus the public’s attention from the boiled scandal with Epstein files. This maneuver was so devoid of the substance that earned the jaw of the denunciation From William’s reformed neocon, Kristol as “a rare trifact of intellectual insufficiency, political nonsense and moral predisposition.” And sure the data for progress now goes out with the results of surveys indicating that the siege of Magan Washington is unpopularWhen 51 percent of the majority of respondents oppose repression and 57 percent agreed that Trump is “authoritarian” in his application for Federalization of Law enforcement.
Currently, this sample has proven itself so well that the past tense has long been to ask what the hell is the leaders of the democratic leaders think what they are doing. Adding the universal premises of Magi Putish, they were trapped in a rigid regression of weak political placement, which strengthens the image of the Democrats as a party status, with unnecessary interested or opportunities, changing the fundamental conditions of political activity. The fact is that with all GOP polls suffer the Democrats Congress Sharply lower approval ratings.
To this day, the Democraticist -Democrats remain in the blind trawl to the fact that, perhaps, the last major political innovations in their BelTvey residence: a terrible Clintic cult of a “triangle”. This three -day reflex was the efforts of Bill Clinton to overcome the 1994 Gingrich Revolution during his application for re -election in 1996; He mainly posted the Democrats as meek dissenters for the republican authorities and politicians so that they could make the voters so that the party would grow their alleged new left over-the-benefit. The inventor of the tactics was the political consultant Dick Morris, who adhered to his main logic to the inevitable conclusion, becoming tough right Stories about the harasser of the Mag. The same fate has read another well -welded apostle tricker Clinton, Apostle, Grounding.
You might think that these gloomy careers will make a triangle for Democrats, but of course you are wrong. Triangulation remains honored, a savvy step for the opposition party that despises its own base, and in a big money on the donors. In the end, there is a reason that his two most famously devoted in the last session of Congress were senators who have already retired Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, Ark cover assembly of the back legislative package, which could make a long -term claim in the party. This is not a coincidence that both legislators are also included The largest recipients of the corporate company DOSH. Triangoule Impulse also why the Law on Available Care 2010 has left Congress without the possibility of state financing, and why the Democratic Elit Privatization of state education and Funds checking the social protection aid. This is all the republican reasons for domestic animals that the Democrats believe can be arranged for a passing humane form. The party’s position for many basic GoP policy goals is approximately the amount of a fictional insurance company that continues to agree to cover many years of efforts to restore convicted modernization of the Jurassic Park.
Current Issue
The second thing to note about the legacy of democratic triangulation is that throughout the death of the maneuver in the party, the Republican Party has passed to the right. It is not difficult to understand why this is the case; Once your opponents provide the main premises of your political program, you do not go to the table – you go to the murder. The last commitment to GoP to the mutual moderation in the triangle mode occurred as a result of the defeat of Mita Romney 2012, when the Republican National Committee created a revelation after the revelation in which the party called for more moderate issues such as immigration, and improve its information connection among African American, gays. I guess I don’t need to remind you As all that has succeeded.
The triangility regime was already an unexpected surrender for political reaction in the maiden years; In Trump’s mode that is active Demanding the rule of law And by redeeming the institutional foundations of our formal democracy, it is an act of civil suicide. Thus, with the constant decline of the reputation of the Democratic Party in the public eyes, let’s start calling the triangle by the true name: coincidence.
At this point, the crisis we need the only, progressive opposition to Donald Trump.
We begin to see how we start to develop on the streets and ballots all over the country: from the Candide company in Mary’s New York Mammani, focused on accessibility, community that protect their neighbors from ice, to senators who oppose weapons.
