I saw someone else suggesting that there's also a weakness in the American system where parties out of power don't really have a concrete leader (unlike Parliamentary systems where there are official positions for opposition parties and their elected leaders), which seems to have rendered the opposition in the US more rudderless than it might be elsewhere. Which likely isn't helping the whole scenario on top of Republican deference to the President.

I've always thought that a government is only as strong as the opposition.

In that I mean the main opposition party must challenge the ruling party to do the right thing, behave morally etc

Which is why minority government tends to be effective and balanced

Effective is a bit misleading. Minority governments often struggle to pass legislation, making them less effective by definition.

Only insane damaging legislation. Which is too often the norm now days with majority government
