15. You'd think so but only a few are speakuing up and they're largely being ignored

because the media are engaged in heavy sanewashing of this obviously impaired man leading a dysfunctional government.

I think they're all waiting for the election season next year, when enough of them will be speaking out in state races that the collective sanity can't be ignored completely.

I don't know how to think about this, you'd think the party would be buying adverts or something, but given the hostility of major media ownership to everything Democratic, they're probably being stymied.

Short term, we're stuck. Long term, when more people have lost businesses and the money they poured into Shitcoin because of these assholes, we might have a chance of penetrating what they call their brains. They won't heed warnings. They only notice catastrophe.
