"Democrats have, so far, been the passive beneficiaries of the outrage that has ensued. The large marches in the capital, demonstrations at the border and gun-control protests all illustrate significant enthusiasm for combating the Trump agenda.

A Washington Post poll last year showed a majority of registered voters thought the Democratic party stood for nothing other than being against Trump."
Gary Younge at The Guardian argues that "[t]he Democrats must do more than simply oppose Donald Trump."
