Agreed, although your tagline, It's going to take real, serious, hard times to wake the American public, may not be proven true. Americans allowed a lot of freedom losses and reduction of quality of life the past 2+ years, and most seem to be in no hurry to reverse the trend.
Even if a majority are and do so at the ballot box, that's not what the outcome will be in November 2022 once the "counting" is done.
