Why do think, this time, people will actually realize…
Because people haven’t really felt the results of their bad choices.
There’s a well-known process for teaching your dog to not run into things when it’s walking on a leash. If you pull it away from the post (parked car, etc.) just before it makes contact, it’ll never learn anything. Instead, let it run into the obstacle. After a while it will learn.
It’s not like we have much of a choice now. Trump and his cronies will take as much as they can for themselves and their friends. They’ll cut as many social services, and give away as many government assets/contracts, as possible.
I think the Democrats need to do everything they can to make the Republican party own the results. Bailing them out from their poor choices won’t help.
I got a bunch, but it requires that we don’t put all our faith in Democrats to just do the right thing. It requires that the American people get their head out of their ass and stop expecting some knight in shining armor to right up on their pure white horse and save them from themselves.
And most of all, it’s going to take time. And understanding. Neither of which the American people are willing to give. They want everything to be “right” now with little to no effort on their part.

Sounds promising. What’s the next step we take to make something positive happen?
