Michael Cohen - The Shift We've Been Waiting For

There are moments in American politics when something subtle begins to shift; not with fireworks or press conferences, but in the quiet way people look at the world around them and think, Wait… this isn’t working. We are living in that moment right now. And for the first time in years, that shift is breaking our way.

Democrats have the momentum — real momentum — because the country is seeing firsthand how the Republican “America First” mantra collapses the second it’s forced to govern. It’s not a vision. It’s not a plan. It’s not even a philosophy. It’s a sales pitch built on fear, aimed at people exhausted enough to buy anything that promises easy answers.

Look at Trump’s latest attack on Minnesota’s Somali community. Barely 700 people nationwide have Temporary Protected Status. It’s a microscopic number. Yet Trump made them a target anyway, ending their protections overnight and pushing wild, evidence-free claims about “Somali gangs” draining billions from the state. No proof. No policy. Just cruelty packaged as concern.

And here’s the part the GOP didn’t plan on: the country noticed. Civil rights leaders spoke out, yes; but so did neighbors, employers, clergy, and voters who once shrugged at Trump’s rhetoric. This time, they asked questions. This time, they didn’t like the answers.
