The mindless opposition to anything President Trump says or does has reached a level which can only be described in mental health terms. Has there previously been in our nation's recent political history a comparable situation wherein one political party instantly reverses its own policies just because a President of the other party acts in accordance with them?
Whatever President Trump is for, the Democrats are immediately against, whether it be stopping illegal entry into the US, improving trade agreements with other countries, or pursuing peace negotiations. I do not recall this being the case with other Presidents, even when they were reviled by the other party. For example, Republicans generally considered President Clinton to be a scumbag, but that did not prevent their cooperation on economic matters. And their opposition to many Obama/Biden policies were substantive rather than personal. Even the Democrats' opposition to President Trump during his first term was focused more on removing him from office rather that disagreement with his specific policies.
This time around, the opposition to Trump's policies seems psychotic in nature. No matter what beneficial results his policies have achieved, the Democrats immediately reject them. As a result, they have adopted irrational policies that illegal entry into the US is good, that a growing economy is bad, and that international peace negotiations are to be avoided at all costs.
When will this insanity end?
Bub, there can never be a 'coming together' or 'meeting of the minds' in this day and age. Look at these examples to show how a dem or rep win may go...
Ban abortion or no restriction abortion.
Ban guns or don't ban guns.
Open borders or closed borders.
Socialism or capitalism.
Transqueer your kindergarteners or don't transqueer your kindergarteners.
Kid friendly drag shows or no drag shows for kids.
Defund the police and decrease law and order or increase the police and law and order.
Promote homosexuality or don't promote homosexuality.
Legalize all drugs or don't legalize drugs.
Legalize prostitution or don't legalize prostitution. ...and on and on.
In the old days, both parties were not that far apart, bub. Both parties had the same foundational beliefs, but not anymore. That was the era of Tip O'Neill dems, bub. We are in the era of commie dems now. Losing an election was not life or death back then. Nowadays, the 2 parties are polar opposites and losing an election can mean life or death.
