This is a great time to talk about the Two Santa Clauses Theory.
My personal solution is one that is painful for it to be useful: The Democrats must lose big for at least another presidential cycle.
That is the only way for the Republicans to either find some actual morals — and fix the debt they’ve incurred and are incurring — or continue to burn it all down so bad their idiot voters finally feel the pain.
No democrats should save us for awhile or we are cursed to continue this cycle.
It won't just be "their idiot voters" who feel the pain. It won't even primarily be "their idiot voters" who feel the pain.
"Their idiot voters" will be propagandized to blame the pain they feel on those who are already suffering the worst.
I’m not sure how insulated you are but plenty of non-idiots have been feeling the pain for a long time now.
The problem is the pain never seeps to the people that need it most as a lesson. My solution fixes that.
