The recent passage of President Trump’s expansive domestic policy bill in the Senate, while superficially a moment of political triumph, reveals superficial unity that conceals deep fissures within American governance. A cursory glance might celebrate the 51-50 vote outcome—a razor-thin victory powered by the vice president’s decisive casting—yet beneath this veneer lies a fragile, yet
