Americans are waking up to a simple truth: too many Democrats are devoted less to governing than to erasing the last year of progress under President Trump. This isn’t debate; it’s a scorched-earth campaign to roll back policies that prioritized national security, fiscal responsibility, and merit over woke agendas. Hardworking patriots should be alarmed when one party’s first instinct is to undo rather than improve.
Take funding and budgeting, where Democrats are fighting to undo the Rescissions Act of 2025 that President Trump signed into law this summer, a bill that cut wasteful allocations and pushed federal spending toward priorities that actually matter to taxpayers. Their response has been predictable—demand more spending and try to put back money for friends in the media and foreign aid programs instead of holding Washington accountable. The American people did not vote for endless giveaways and soft-on-spending policies.
When the administration moved to streamline and reduce bloated federal payrolls, Democrats turned that into a political cudgel, insisting the rehiring of thousands be the price of ending a government shutdown. Rather than negotiate, they weaponized empathy for federal workers to try to reverse reforms and pressure Republicans into concessions. This is the exact political theater voters warned about when they demanded efficiency over entitlement.
On trade, Democrats and some in Washington are racing to reinstate congressional vetoes over tariffs after President Trump used tariffs strategically to protect American industries. Their Trade Review Act is pitched as oversight, but in practice it’s a bid to hamstring the executive branch and tie the President’s hands in negotiations with China and other unfair traders. Weakening America’s leverage is a gift to foreign competitors and a risk to American workers who need protection from predatory practices.
They’ve even declared war on common-sense personnel policies, trying to bring back DEI programs the administration ended in the name of meritocracy and fairness. Grassroots movements and protests have predictably swelled in response, showing how polarized and raw this fight has become nationwide. This is about whether federal jobs should reward qualifications and performance or whether quotas and identity politics remain the deciding factors.
Conservatives should be clear-eyed: this is not healthy opposition, it’s an attempt to wipe the slate clean and punish voters who wanted a change. The choice for Americans is straightforward — support leaders who defend reforms that put the country first, or watch the swamp try to reassert itself through endless legislative and cultural rollbacks. Stand firm, keep electing people who value American sovereignty and common sense, and don’t let Washington’s permanent class undo a year of real results.
