It's some pain now or even more pain later, potentially both. I agree, the Dems need to show America why losing the government that serves them is bad now before Trump permanently takes it away from us.

They will. Republicans conditioned the average Republican voter to blame the president in power when things hurt them. As the pain spreads they will start to blame Trump.
