Since 2018, a strategy to flood the political landscape with initiatives has gained traction, especially under Trump’s second term. This tactic involves rapid enactment of policies like firing inspectors general, a hiring freeze, and a crackdown on immigration, intending to create disarray among Democrats. The sheer volume of actions makes it difficult for opponents to respond effectively. Representative Jamie Raskin noted that this overwhelming sensory overload complicates the Democrats' ability to regroup and mount a challenge, exemplifying the strategy's intended impact to keep opponents off balance.
This time, the flood is bigger, wider and more brutally efficient. As President Trump begins his second term, he has enacted his agenda at breakneck speed.
The flood has had its intended disorienting effect: How can Democrats fight back when they can't catch their breath?
