... keep there fingers in their ears and sing "la la la" to enable them to hang onto the fantasy that the criminal war on Iran will magically end "any day now" and all will just "snap back" to some tolerable trumpian business as usual.

It may be that a few wake up before the mid-terms, but my guess is that it will take a combination of a mid-term rout and the grim one-year anniversary of his criminal and monumentally insane attack on Iran for enough of them to face reality. And that reality is that the crisis isn't Iran, the Crisis is Trump and his inability to take the loss -- his inability to suck up the humiliation of re-committing to Obama's treaty, shovelling 10x the amount of money at them that Obama did, and making a disastrous concession on the law of the sea to allow an "environmental fee" (i.e. toll).
