5. The tide has turned

When we look back on the Trump residency it will seem like the 2018 elections were the first cracks in the foundation, and that enlightened and intelligent elites were slow to see daylight. But in effect the boat had leaks from before the beginning, and it has been a steady drip, drip for 37 months. Fear has been replaced by outrage, fortitude, and resolve to change course. Once wisdom begins to dawn on the solid and silent, and they begin to vent, it is only a matter of time. Distractions, lies, threats, and pompous entitlement are all they have at this point. Patriots will not ever surrender.
