    I agree. The longer we go without feeling the pain from the damage he is causing, the more damage will happen. It is similar to his Medicaid cuts not kicking in right away. Too much time will pass between the action and the negative effect caused by that action.

      This is the part I find most galling - the Americans are too comfortable. The people don’t want to jeopardize their comfortable livelihoods and individual lives so expect the ‘powerful elected officials’ to do their bidding. After all, the public gave them the power to do just that. Otoh, the politicians don’t want to jeopardize their cushy jobs and accumulated power by challenging the majority, so are waiting for the public to start a jan6 situation so they can point and say, ‘see, the people are unhappy so we should act’.

      It’s a shitstorm of no consequences and a man child literally hacking away at the country and no one seems to be doing anything meaningful.
