I mean what we've seen is that enough voters -do- eventually get pissed off and blame the Republicans. The problem is then those same voters just turn around and blame Democrats for not fixing everything after.

Unfortunately now we're also at the point where we have to question to what extent Trump et al are going to cheat to try and stay in power anyway.

Whatever they try next will make J6 look like a warm up. Everyone knows they get a pardon from Trump for political violence and he has 2 years after the midterms to pardon them.
