The Swamp only wants to implement the changes that benefit them, and supports the agenda crafted to hand them more power and enrich them. What is good for the country does not usually even get on the agenda. For example, no oil and gas support in the agenda in spite of $5 gasoline?
The mid-terms are coming, and we are going to do well enough that they should be able to stall the Swamp’s agenda. But if R’s do not get 2/3 of both houses, they will not be able to make significant changes without some D participation. Could be an issue.
So I guess the question becomes, what percentage of the voters wish to pursue an agenda that steers the country towards a Venezuelan outcome vs what percentage want to return to the direction the country was on before the ‘transformative change’ began (2009). I just have to believe that when voters consider gasoline prices, inflation, immigration, and all the other calamities we will be enduring this summer, they will want to change directions. So barring election ‘anomalies’ some of this will be addressed.
The lesson I learned from observing the past decade of politics is that when politicians start using new terminology, one should be distrustful until all details are revealed. And no more voting on a bill to find out what is in it. If the content of the bill cannot be explained and found agreeable, it does not deserve a vote.
You are correct to assume that the DC creatures are going to feel the pressure. And if they try to resist the mood of the people, it will reveal that, in reality, they are actually more stupid than what they believe us to be.
To quote an old joke, “Congressmen should be required to dress like NASCAR drivers, so we can know their corporate sponsors.“
And “I do not approve of political jokes. I have seen too many of them get elected.”
