** To Stop Trump, Democrats Must Reinvent Themselves
------------------------------------------------------------
By Will Marshall
Founder and President of the Progressive Policy Institute
for The Hill ([link removed])
As President Trump ([link removed]) and Congressional Republicans use their slim majorities to try to foist a radical regime change on America, Democrats need to reckon with why they’re watching helplessly from the sidelines.

Having lost control of both the White House and Congress, and with Republicans marching in lockstep, there is little they can do to stop Trump’s drive to monopolize political power and rule by diktat ([link removed]) . Only the courts are putting speed bumps in his way.

Democrats, yoked to the status quo, are extraordinarily unpopular ([link removed]) . Less than a third of Americans view the party favorably, while 57 percent disapprove. Independents are even more likely to express negative views. During the Biden ([link removed]) years, Republicans also erased the Democrats’ longstanding advantage ([link removed]) in party registration.

Progressive activists nonetheless are pressuring party leaders ([link removed]) to make a show of resisting the Trump-Elon Musk ([link removed]) blitzkrieg on the federal government. This is tricky: Democrats are duty-bound to speak out against Trump’s unconstitutional usurpation of legislative power. But they must also avoid falling into the trap of defending a federal bureaucracy most Americans believe is badly broken.
