Well, I agree with you that there isn’t a well formed articulate opposition, but the opposition is there nonetheless.
But Rover is a loyal and faithful servant to his master. If the bone has no meat, the master will blame that on the ‘opposition’ and not on the master’s failed ideology. Rover already has the conditioned or ‘paplovian’ response to anything Republicans do or say.
‘True Believers’ cannot be convinced, they must be converted. Since logic and reason have left the ‘progressives’, Reality will be the best teacher, IMHO.
