That's the one silver lining. My biggest fear is that things won't get worse fast enough. Humans, being dumber than frogs, won't jump out of a pot of boiling water if you raise the heat slowly enough. I can only hope that the next four years are so terrible that we learn our lesson and have it actually stick this time.
A lot of the repercussions if decisions made over the next four years won’t actually be felt for five or six years. And if the Democrats are actually elected AND allowed to take power in five years, they’ll both have to clean up the mess AND get blamed for causing it.
