President-Elect Trump’s contentious nominations and potential appointment strategies threaten to undermine democratic principles, necessitating strong opposition from Democrats to prevent legitimization of an inauthentic government.
Representative John Lewis set a precedent by not attending Trump’s inauguration, arguing that one cannot support what they believe is wrong. Current Democratic officials should follow this lead.
The recent nominations including Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard by Trump reflect a broader agenda that seems to intentionally disregard knowledge, science, and democratic values.
This administration needs to be met with resistance. The Democratic leaders must not only oppose Trump's nominations but should also reconsider their participation in his inauguration.
