When Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called for a “shadow government” to oppose President Trump’s administration, it wasn’t some innocent, off-hand comment.
Walz was saying the quiet part out loud.
Governor Walz was exposing something much more troubling: a mindset of permanent opposition that is un-American at its very core.
“I think we need a shadow government,” Walz said at a Wisconsin town hall, “so when all these things come up every single day, we’ve got an alternate press conference telling the truth about what things are happening.”
Let’s be clear: in the U.K., a “shadow government” is a formal and recognized part of their parliamentary system. The opposition party names a "shadow cabinet" to mirror the actual cabinet and offer alternative policies. This makes sense in a system where the opposition is the government-in-waiting, and elections can trigger a complete handover of power overnight.
But America doesn’t operate that way. We have a president, a separation of powers, and a constitutionally elected executive branch.
When a politician like Walz uses the term “shadow government” in our system, it isn’t a policy proposal—it’s a political dog whistle.
Here is what a “shadow government” really means, the way Tim Walz used it:
Shadow government is an unelected coalition of partisan interests—Democrat-aligned judges, propaganda-driven media, radical nonprofits, public sector unions, and corporatist elites—working together to undermine the authority of the duly elected president.
It operates outside official channels but wields influence through legal obstruction, narrative manipulation, and institutional control. Rather than defending the Constitution, this network seeks to sabotage it, prioritizing partisan power over democratic accountability.
Walz’s verbiage is a deliberate play to suggest the sitting president is illegitimate, and that some unelected group—activists, donors, or disgruntled politicians—should be running the government from the outside.
That’s not holding the president accountable. That’s sabotaging his administration.
You can see it also by the way Senate Minority Leader talks about undermining support for President Trump, rather than accomplishing things with him to make the country better.
"We are mobilizing in New York, we have people going to the Republican districts and going after--going after Republicans who are voting for this and forcing them either change their vote or face the consequences… I am confident that we will bring Trump's popularity, numbers and strength down if we keep at it.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer isn't even pretending to care about the American people.
Public opinion is what the Democrats are focused on instead of working with President Trump to make the country better. The Democrats only care about sabotaging the Trump administration at every term.
If that means harming the country in order to hurt Trump, the Democratic Party will do it. This is the most un-American party in the nation's history.
The Democrats know exactly what they are doing. They know that if Donald Trump is successful despite all of their partisan vitriol, their party is finished.
Walz’s “shadow government” comment continues a pattern of open hostility and refusal to accept political outcomes Democrats don’t like. Since losing as Kamala Harris’s running mate in 2024, Walz has ramped up the rhetoric, accusing Trump of authoritarianism and predicting political arrests and dynastic succession.
“I don’t think there’s any limit to where he goes,” Walz said of Trump. “The limit will be what the American public will put up with and when they push back. This has happened everywhere when these authoritarians have come in. One day, it looks like they’re absolutely infallible and in total power, and the next day, they and their entire families are gone.”
This is pure projection. There is no limit to how far Democrats will go — in order to attain power, violate the Constitution, infringe on our rights, and loot the treasury for trillions of our dollars.
That means death threats against Donald Trump are on the table. It means domestic terrorism against Tesla owners and their vehicles is on the table. It even means political assassination attempts are on the table.
Democrats won't condemn these reprehensible acts of political violence, because they all agree with it.
“Silence is violence.” Those are the rules. Remember?
So, Walz’s rhetoric isn’t just irresponsible—it’s a call for political disloyalty. Walz claims to defend democracy, yet he talks about circumventing the administration that was elected by the American people. He blames Trump for political division while suggesting Democrats stage their own pseudo-government.
And the irony runs deeper. Walz insists he just wants a platform to "tell the truth," as if Democrats don’t already own the propaganda media space on CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, and virtually every major tech platform not named “X.”
The idea that Democrats lack a voice in today’s media ecosystem is laughable. What Walz is really advocating is not truth-telling—but message control and narrative dominance under a new label.
Even if you take his "shadow government" talk at face value, the man pitching it isn’t exactly a beacon of trust. Walz has been dogged by questions about his background—embellishments about being in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen protests and his known ties to the Communist China Party.
When Republicans criticize this, they're dismissed as conspiracy theorists. But if Trump had even half the China ties Walz does, Democrats would scream “treason!”
Americans didn’t vote for a shadow government. They voted for a president, a Congress, and a system that holds leaders accountable through elections—not alternative power structures run by self-declared elites.
If Walz wants to hold press conferences, he’s free to. But invoking the language of secret governments and undermining constitutional authority isn't leadership—it's disloyalty.
And ‘disloyal’ is a term that best describes members of an unfaithful, unprincipled, unpatriotic, un-American, and un-Democratic Party whose only loyalty is to themselves.
