It took that long because they were attempting the slow boil method. We can course correct immediately.

There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.

We can but how do you as an individual plan to convince Americans to start the revolution? Personally, I think we need to build them up and show them the systemic issues they're dealing with in order to convince them.

~~There are decades where nothing's happens~~ There are decades where you don't pay attention to what's happening in the background, and ~~there are weeks where decades happen~~ weeks where those decades of planning come to fruition.
