Right-wing pundits have diagnosed many on the left with TDS — Trump Derangement Syndrome.  This TDS is supposed to explain the left’s opposition to literally everything this administration introduces.  Jason Cohen in an article in the Daily Caller discusses ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith’s comments on Jasmin Crocket resisting everything introduced by Trump.  She also has made it clear that it is a higher priority to resist Trump than to pass legislation.  Cohen also mentioned Chuck Schumer, who said on Morning Joe in March that the Democrat party’s “job” is to weaken the president’s popularity.

This behavior is hardly new.  Trump’s first term was treated the same.  All we saw from the Democrats was resistance.  It was at this time Hillary Clinton said that Democrats will be civil when they are back in office.  Was it, and is it, TDS or just an attempt to weaken Trump’s popularity and influence an election?

Congress has several responsibilities, including oversight over the Executive Branch.  But that oversight does not include stopping a duly elected president from exercising his duties.  It does not mean abandoning legislative duties to the American people and voters.

This yelling, screaming, altering the truth, and avoiding any good news about the current administration worked (with a little help from a viral gift from China) to get rid of Trump last time.  Joe Biden was to be a uniter, a moderate, someone who would bring stability to our leadership.  Was he?  He was no more a moderate than Obama was a moderate.  Hence, the policies the left enacted during the Biden presidency were things........
