    Give it a year.

    I’m assuming some of the Trumptards with a few brain cells still bouncing around will start looking at their grocery receipts and not be able to reconcile it with what their Daddy has been saying.

    “Hey, dat man lied to me.”

    Maybe getting evicted will open some eyes.

    We’re only 3-4 months in.

      The idea of armed revolt always concerns me because of countries like N. Korea, Iraq, and more recently Afghanistan.

      All of these countries had periods of (relative) progressive tendencies before their current iterations. Yes, I’m aware Afghanistan was still rough 2001-2021 but there was still a generation of women going to school and getting educated and that concept just simply ceased to exist.

      And all of these people just kinda…watched it happen. And did nothing about it.

      I’m not sure, as an American, why we’d be any different. We have alcohol, iphones, air conditioning, fast food, and video games. No one is risking their creature comforts at this point.

        Would you agree that those creature comforts are at risk in the coming months? Fast food and video games have already become prohibitively expensive IMHO.

      You’d be surprised at what people will put up with. I say we aren’t close even if we gave it 3 or 4 years.

      They will bury their head in the sand so hard they’ll come out the other side of the planet before they’ll annoy they were duped.
