One step at a time. And it will be much more effective if people think it was THEIR idea and not something forced on them by Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi has the grit and the ego to gently guide people to her desired direction while not appearing that it was all her idea.

Anyone who doesn't understand this should study how FDR gradually shifted public opinion from isolationism to intervening in World War Ii. Even though he knew it was right and necessary, he just didn't bully the public into going along. He gradually eased them into it without many people even knowing he was doing it.

Pelosi is following his playbook.
