53. There will not be a backlash. People have to stop expecting one.

If Trump ordering his supporters to attack the capitol didn't end him - nothing will. The only hope is that he tanks the economy and things get so painful that Americans turn on him over that. But they're not going to turn on him because of any policy or action. I think anyone who's half paid attention to the last few years can tell you that.

Americans don't care about other Americans. They only care about their situation and maybe those closest to them. They would sell you out for cheaper eggs and lower costs.
