An observation:
The American opposition party has spent decades:
– loudly protesting Republican immigration policies, national security enactments, and corporate cronyism
– quietly continuing those same policies, enactments, and cronyism
– expanding executive power
– promoting (Islamo-)fascist propaganda
– courting and commercializing populism
Between outright criminals cutting backroom deals with POTUS and the ruling party, and career politicians holding on to their chips after their opponent has flipped the board off the table, lies the large mass of probably well-intentioned elected Democrats who have nevertheless worked for a party that has, for too long, legitimized the basic praxis and politics of the new ruling party it’s now supposed to oppose.
