We have a big-tent coalition and rely in part on that small part of the electorate in the middle that is, beyond being ideologically inconsistent, are often underinformed, uninformed, and/or misinformed. Point being, if we wait for the perfect issue that fires up everyone before we get mad, we'll be lining up at the executioners block and someone in the actual line will be telling everyone to remain calm and keep their powder dry.
Republicans have been consistently able, over multiple generations, to attack democrats over anything and everything. They manage to pick the most esoteric, boring, bullshit things and turn it into the issue that their base froths in rage over. Anyone who wants to tell me that we cannot successfully make use of outrage over USAID being *unconstitutionally* torn apart is wrong.
We, as a party and especially our officials, need to be angry more often and more visibly. The last thing we need is to repeat our consistently failed practice of self-policing the outrage within our own tent. That self-policing of outrage is the real messaging problem as far as I'm concerned.
I couldn't disagree more.

Calling it unconstitutional or illegal is the best argument I’ve read so far Dems could use against this action.
