Loyal Opposition

 

The key to a functional democracy.

Per the Mirriam-Webster dictionary; a minority party especially in a legislative body whose opposition to the party in power is constructive, responsible, and bounded by loyalty to fundamental interests and principles. A well-fortified minority will tend to improve legislative debate and can become a genuine loyal opposition.

·         Minority Party

Even though they seem to have failed to grasp this fact, democrats are the minority party and as such, they need work with the majority in order to legitimately govern in the United States Congress. The minority cannot pass any legislative bills without votes from the majority party. They do not hold leadership positions in either the House or Senate. They do not chair any committees. Any legislation desired by democrats must first be approved and moved to the floor for debate by the majority leader. Although the legacy media amplifies democrat denunciations, they do so with the realization that democrats are powerless to impose their will due to their minority standing. This is how a Constitutional Republic is supposed to function. As Barack Obama famously declared, “Elections have consequences.”

·         Opposition Party

Democrats certainly do check the opposition box, as they obstruct the majority party, and vehemently oppose any policy actions brought forward by the administration. With lawsuits filed before hand-picked radical leftist judges they attempt to derail the administration’s agenda. Under the umbrella of the democrat party, their allies organize protests, disrupt Congressional member’s town halls, and foment violence against their “enemies.” Democrat leaders, not only fail to denounce the violence, but they also attempt to justify these unlawful actions. Democrats have become the bitter clingers as Obama accused conservatives. They cling to their strawman arguments, condemning the 1%, accusing others of being existential threats to democracy that they themselves have become, and worshiping at the altar of government largesse.

·         Constructive

They refuse to engage in any meaningful, bipartisan, or constructive debate to conduct the people’s business, instead, consistently with explicit rancor, condemn their counterparts, accusing them of the very behavior they themselves engage in. Democrats erect a virtual wall between themselves and any semblance of bipartisanship, chastising their own if they dare to challenge their chosen narrative. Denouncing policies that a vast majority of the populace supports leaves the democrats on an island. They continue to support leftist ideology that is soundly rejected by their constituency. Democrats criticize DOGE and Elon Musk when waste, fraud, and inefficiencies are exposed, choosing to protect their public sector union benefactors rather than the taxpayers they are charged to represent. As always, the people are on the short end of this bargain.

·         Responsible

Democrats have exchanged responsible actions with reprehensible behavior. They shout blatant lies from the mountaintops, from declaring MAGA an existential threat to democracy to Elon Musk is stealing Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from you. Pushing a false narrative has never hampered democrats if those lies further their quest for money and power. We have witnessed the weak-minded individuals that have lashed out in violence in response to democrat lies.

·         Loyal

Democrat loyalty remains with the leftist ideology that they still believe is the best option to remain in and regain power. They willfully ignore the Constitution by manipulating voting rules, immigration laws, and continue to engage in lawfare, using rogue, leftist judges to hamstring the duly elected President’s, and by virtue of his election, the people’s agenda.

·         Well-fortified minority

Democrats are fortified by money from left wing organizations and the usual suspects, George Soros, Reid Hoffman, and their ilk. ActBlue, NGO’s, and non-profits launder money and provide cover for democrat illegal campaign fund raising, while furthering illegal immigration schemes, voter fraud, and other leftist goals.

·         Fundamental interests and principals

Democrats are fundamentally opposed to whatever gets in the way of their own self-interests, including their constituency. Their principals have devolved into unconditional support for transgenderism, illegal immigration, and stopping Trump by any means necessary. Opposition to school choice, when public schools are failing miserably, is evidence that their teacher’s union benefactors are paramount in their decision making.

·         Improve legislative debate

Debate in Congress has devolved into shouting matches, derogatory accusations, and downright disruptive behavior by democrats.

Democrats have proven that they have totally disregarded their duty as the loyal opposition and have become merely a conduit for leftist ideology. Democrats will burn the country down if it means they can regain power and rule over the ashes. The democrat party has lost support, exponentially as they are viewed as an obstructive body. In a recent poll, less than 50% of democrats support their own party. Democrats need to be marginalized until such a time as they choose to moderate their extreme positions. If they fail to do so, they need to be voted out of office, wholesale.
