The article critiques the Democratic Party's inadequate response to the Trump administration's controversial actions, including the politicization of institutions and support for harmful policies. It highlights the Democrats' recurrent phrase 'this is not who we are' as a failed rhetorical strategy, pointing out their inability to take effective action against Trump's nominees and policies. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's capitulation during budget negotiations further exemplifies the party's weak stance. Overall, the text argues that the Democrats' failure to act vigorously undermines their role as a credible opposition.
The Trump administration's actions signify a radical departure from established norms, and the Democrats appear to be failing in their role as an effective opposition party.
