Liberals will squash any back lash, and conservatives there have already shown they are afraid of government backed liberals
What conservatives are you referring to?
Remember, there aren’t any conservatives over there that we would recognize in terms of ideology. Stuff like rights to keep and bear arms, actual freedom of speech, press and religion et al, or even the concept of “negative liberties” (as Obama derisively called the concept of government having no power to grant or take away inherent rights of the people) are either alien or anathema to them.
Still and all, it’s the same elite politicians causing the crisis that are leading the backlash. That may sound counterintuitive, but when the goal is clawing back power for themselves that the end of WWII took away from them, it does make sense.
