Part 5/7:
The Democrats' Struggle with Cohesion and Trust
Several factors contribute to the Democrats’ ineffectiveness in opposing Trump. Initially, election losses typically lead to regrouping among opposition parties, especially during what is termed a "honeymoon period" for incoming administrations. The absence of a designated opposition leader in the American political system adds to this issue, as the Democrats lack a unified voice to challenge Trump’s burgeoning agenda.
Furthermore, the Democratic Party finds itself grappling with mixed strategies on how best to counter Trump's policies. Some favor focusing on cultural issues, while others advocate for economic critiques or propose no recalibration at all. This disunity complicates the party’s ability to form an effective opposition.
