It must be a miserable existence being a Lefty in the Trump administration. You're required, as part of your politics, to reflexively hate and object to everything that President Trump does. Not because it's wrong, but because the Left has to believe everything President Trump does is automatically bad.
He could announce a cure for cancer tomorrow, and the Left would whine that he's putting oncologists on the unemployment line.

"I thought it was a stupid idea to paint the reflecting pool. But, y'all," the woman says as she turns around, "it looks good. It actually looks really good. Like, it makes the reflection look extraordinarily prominent in a way that it did not look before. And I hate that."

She'll probably get harassment from her fellow Democrats for even saying that, but you know some — if not most — of them agree with her.

The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.

This is why communists can’t even praise the good if it comes into conflict with their ideology, which it always will because their ideology is evil. https://t.co/mdpdvd0azY
Always the revolution.
The reflecting pool looks great, and D.C. is cleaner than it's been in years. That's all because of President Trump and his vision to make D.C. great again.
Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
