Perhaps you should read more. There are stories of people losing their healthcare that said they didn't think Trump would really push for it. There are people on this board who won't hold Trump to his statements about Mexico paying for the wall and quite happy for US taxpayers to pay for it when that's not what his agenda was.

100% accuracy. And I understand that. And if they are opposed to part of the agenda, even if they voted for the candidate, they should speak up about it.

"we" includes anyone who opposes a waste of time and money like "the wall". That is democrats and republicans.

As you say, the Democrats are in the minority. Not much they can do but try to point out how bad an idea/bill/suggestion is. The GOP has control and can do as they please for the most part.

But my question remains the same: Do we have to not try and stop a stupid thing simply because the party I belong to is in the minority?

The Democrats can not shut down the government. All the power lies with the GOP and your boy Trump. And Trump will do it because he can't get his ego trip wall paid for by you and me.

Spinning enough will only make you dizzy.
