Initially, after Trump's election victory, some Democrats expressed a willingness to collaborate, hoping his administration may lead to bipartisanship. Figures like John Fetterman and Bernie Sanders indicated potential for selective cooperation or peaceful engagement, especially on populist issues. However, rapid developments over recent weeks have dispelled any optimism, revealing Trump's resistance to compromise and even the law. Consequently, Democratic leaders are embracing their role as an opposition party, aiming to mobilize public dissent and hold Trump accountable for his actions and policy directions.
Democrats are resigning themselves to the mission of becoming an opposition party, full stop, making as much noise and arousing as much public outrage as they can.
Some Democrats initially showed a willingness to cooperate with Trump, believing he might shift toward bipartisanship, but that hope has proven unfounded.
