Ok, they don’t “have to,” they choose to. They choose to because the alternative would be to work with Republicans and the Trump administration in the best interest of the American people, and they don’t give a damn about the best interest of the American people.
Democrats don’t have the good sense to see an opportunity when it’s screaming on their front porch. They have adopted a strategy of “If Trump is for it, we’re against it,” no matter how stupid that position makes them look.
That put them on the side of bureaucrats and fraud. They hold rallies, give speeches and sing unbelievably stupid songs because that’s all they have.
Were they smart, they’d simply help root out some waste – there is zero doubt there is plenty – and brag about some of the work Elon Musk and DOGE are doing like they helped do it.
They simply can’t bring themselves to because Trump supports it; Trump started it.
It’s a sad testament to how the establishment in DC is that no one in either party did anything beyond pay lip service to the billions (probably trillions by now) being wasted and stolen for decades from all of us, but they’re doing something about it now and Democrats simply cannot allow themselves to be anything other than an obstacle.
The party of JFK and Bill Clinton is now the party of AOC, Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett and MSNBC. A party where a fraud and conspiracy theorist like Rachel Maddow is seen as a moral authority over anything has no moral authority on anything.
How can Nancy Pelosi get rich while “being a public servant for the poor” is laughable, but raises no eyebrows. How? Because they’re all in on it.
How billions can go missing or be wasted on grants that serve literally no purpose whatsoever beyond keeping the left-wing professors who dreamed them up in business and one even raise a question about it tells you just how revolutionary what Trump and Musk are doing truly is. That they are entirely of the Democratic Party’s instinct to the concept of attempting to rein in even some of it is to throw a temper tantrum is a better ad for Republicans than their entire brain trust on the right could ever cook up. The only thing they get angrier over is a woman actually giving birth.
They are miserable people and deserve to be.
