(89,896 posts)Yeah, I know what you mean. And it's only been a week. BUT, remember - it's only been a week for our side, too. The protests, the numbers, the masses and the new activism spurred by #TheResistance and the Indivisible Guide ( https://www.indivisibleguide.com ) - that is only a week old too. And already it's got the Congressional GOP tied up in knots for fear of what they'll unleash if they stick to their "goal" of taking people's affordable health care away.
Think termites.
Termites take awhile to chew away at the supports under your house and under your roof, til they've undermined the whole works. But MAN, left unchecked, they eventually do.
The bad part of this is - it WILL be slow. But we have to stay on it. If we do that, it will grow and spread and metastasize, and a handful will become legion. And people are ALREADY fired up, Ajji11. I'm 63 and I've never seen this before - the activism that's now spreading and growing more powerful. The GOP already feels the edge of the knife lowering to their throat-level. Many of them will try to ignore it or avoid it or talk their way around it, or hope it goes away. But that's not gonna hold, much less start producing the "results" they had in mind and assumed they'd get, for very long.
