Every day (almost every hour) brings a fresh bout of outrage from Democrats aimed at Trump and his administration. One day it’s Epstein. The next day it’s some insane story about Trump throwing a baby into a lake. Then comes the hand-wringing over Trump going after Venezuelan thug Nicolás Maduro. Now, they’ve turned their focus to ICE again, reacting angrily to the fatal shooting of a woman who appeared to be trying to flee law enforcement by driving toward an ICE agent. Different headline, same reflexive outrage – rinse, repeat.

Yes, the Democratic strategy to rile up their base and get them to the polls boils down to one simple rule: The more MAGA work that Trump gets done, the harder they complain about how awful he is and how he will end democracy unless they vote him out. They’ve perfected reflexive opposition regardless of real world outcomes. It’s not about policies at all. It’s about their perception and repacking of reality – which isn’t about reality at all.

The Left’s strategy sounds like political suicide – until you remember one inconvenient truth: if Republicans snooze through 2026, Democrats can still win. Why? Because being anti-Trump has become the Left’s entire rallying cry – and the only issue they think they need on the ballot.

The troubling thing is that they might be right because if GOP voters stay home out of boredom, complacency, burnout, or the belief that nothing’s really at stake, Democrats won’t need an electoral victory plan at all. Between mail-in ballots, outright cheating, and a Republican no-show, the math starts working in their favor.

Republicans need to stop assuming 2026 will take care of itself. Elections aren’t won by vibes, memes, or memories of past victories – they’re won by showing up. Democrats will turn out, fueled by nothing more than anti-Trump resentment. If Republicans don’t match that turnout with purpose and urgency, they’ll hand power to a party that doesn’t care if America is great. They just want it under their control.
