Your point is noted, as a strategic point. As a tactical point, I would say this. If you're trying to sink the boat, you've got a lot longer time to achieve success than if you're trying to fix a leak and stop it from sinking.
With environmentalists, if it takes them 5 years or 5 decades, they'll keep working until they sink the boat. We have plenty of time to fight them, and they to fight us.
With FDR, he caused a lot of little leaks. Some were fixed. Some we continue to bail out even now.
This current administration, however, is creating gaping holes below the waterline. Saying, "We'll get to it later" might find us patching the hull of a sunken ship.
Your point is best made by history — It took years to get FDRs Fascism stopped ...
You are right. The time for counter fire will all possible guns is now.
It is not before......it is not going to be repeat of some cycle. This time it is over.
Dithering means death of America
