Republicans are exactly the opposite.
It would be "unnatural" for Democrats to oppose Donald Trump on everything. It is not in their nature. That is one of the reasons they are Democrats - they look for ways to work together to resolve problems within our society.
This could create problems with the grassroots that want to oppose Trump on everything. It isn't going to happen. Democrats will be Democrats and look for compromise and consensus.

(1,761 posts)Democrats are also pragmatists, they operate based on facts and the truth, not adhering blindly to sanctioned political dogma, as is the case with most Republicans.
And it will be Congressional Republicans Democrats will oppose for the most part rather than Trump; and Democrats will oppose both based on facts and evidence, where Republicans and Trump are factually wrong on the issues.
