<p>I’m officially out of patience.</p>



<p>Congress just gave us another episode of Political Theater: The Cringe Edition, starring Rep. Al Green’s latest antics, a refusal to stand for a cancer-stricken kid (seriously?), and the predictable Republican outrage machine firing up like a broken car alarm. Then, as expected, the media turned it into the Story of the Century &#8211; until the next scandal drops.</p>



<p>Honestly, this would all be hilarious if it weren’t so painfully stupid.</p>



<p>What we’re witnessing is pure, unfiltered propaganda, bad acting, performative outrage, and grandstanding designed to rally the least attentive parts of each party’s base. It’s all a game of &#8220;Look at those disgusting idiots! We, on the other hand, are flawless heroes!&#8221; The problem? No one’s even pretending to be authentic anymore.</p>



<p>Now, don’t get me wrong—there are times when genuine outrage is warranted. But can we at least stop rehearsing it in front of a mirror first?</p>



<p>Let’s be real: Republicans run the show right now. They’ve got Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court. That means the country is going in a certain direction. Elections have consequences. Donald Trump isn’t exactly known for playing nice; he governs like a bulldozer with no reverse gear. He assumes authority, bends rules, and yes, occasionally bullies his way through.</p>



<p>But that’s why Democrats matter. They have a crucial role, and it’s not to just throw tantrums, it’s to oppose with integrity.</p>



<p>And to their credit, they’re doing some of that. Challenging Trump in court? Good. Mobilizing opposition groups? Fine. Using the media to push back? Expected. A strong opposition keeps the ruling party in check and ensures the Constitution isn’t treated like a suggestion box. Even as a Trump supporter, I respect that role.</p>



<p>But let’s talk about what’s NOT working.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A staged ejection of Al Green shaking his cane &#8211; no.</li>



<li>When Rep. Tlaib acts like cartel tunnels are some kind of protected cultural heritage site &#8211; that’s not it.</li>



<li>When AOC keeps delivering headline-ready nonsense &#8211; not helping.</li>



<li>When Schumer and Jeffries make non-statements that are basically political white noise &#8211; again, do better.</li>
</ul>



<p>You don’t oppose Trump by cheering for Hamas, fighting to keep violent criminals in the country, or setting Maxine Waters loose to declare that Trump “didn’t talk about the issues.” (Ma’am, what are you even saying?)</p>



<p>I get it. Democrats are leaderless right now, and for the past four years, their best minds have been shoved aside in favor of the woke, the wild, and the just plain weird.</p>



<p>But it’s time for the grown-ups to take the wheel. The Democratic Party can be a formidable opposition if they focus on real fights. Ditch the theatrics, use common sense, bring technical expertise, and remember that American society as a whole actually matters.</p>



<p>Want to fight Trump? Want to get elected next time? Oppose with substance. The country deserves at least that much.</p>
