U.S. Rep. Al Green, a Texas Democrat, did his best to make “good trouble” during President Donald Trump’s first address to Congress since taking office in January.
Brandishing his cane, the Lone Star septuagenarian rose from his seat in the U.S. House chamber and challenged Trump’s claim that he has a sweeping mandate to enact the tidal wave of changes his Republican administration has unleashed within the federal government.
Green stood alone, with his Democratic colleagues content to sit silent and hold quaint church fan signs with words that called the president a liar and criticized billionaire bureaucrat Elon Musk.

Democrats don’t have a message because the majority of the issues they bring up are fringe issues that don’t affect most Americans. Democrat issues, or left wing issues, only matter to them. They tried identity politics, transgender issues, class warfare, and even climate change. Democrats been in power for years and have not ushered in communism. These fringe issues crowds out the common issues, and greater issues. Democrats even pretentiously assume on the voter that warmongering is a good thing. Most Americans either reject these things or don’t care for them. Donald Trump, on the other hand, tapped into the powerful force of nationalism. Democrat’s platform during campaigning is they were not Donald Trump. I don’t think that was enough.
