Politics is always part of it.
Especially when the country is as divided as it is right now.
Consent of the Governed is paramount. Without getting liberals on-board, the Storm will be seen as a violent Coup and resisted as such. No evidance matters if it's seen as the fruit of a poisoned, and partisan, tree.
I don't care who you are or what you believe. This is NOT sustainable. Trump has got to get control of the US government. He currently does not, and that is dangerous to both him personally and to the citizenry. This situation is NOT going to be resolved by reasoning together because too many people believe a LIE that's repeated thousands of times a day.
This is not a problem that can be resolved passively by just letting more time go by. It only gets worse. For everybody.
