People's distractions are still free or cheap. If youtube stops working properly, Instagram, Facebook, etc. Stop working properly and streaming services raise prices beyond what people are willing to pay, they won't have any choice BUT to reflect on what has become of their lives. You have nothing to distract you with or turn your brain off and you'll have to be confronted with the fact that your life is far worse than it was before.
The key thing is timing. That feeling has to set in while trump is in office. He's making decisions and cant hide or pretend it's someone else when he's in the media 24/7. The buck stops with nobody else but him.
Democrats are controlled opposition, but they're even worse now so they can't be blamed because you got hakeem jeffries saying shyt like "presidents come and go" when people are afraid they may lose their medicare.
The average American voter showed the world that yes, it is in fact possible to fail an open book test. Had trump lost, his tax cuts would expire. Billions of dollars would start flowing back in to the government to fund the same programs he's trying to eliminate.
