After a while they will not be able to deny that it started with tRump's inauguration and he has not fixed his mistakes. Timing might work well for a Blue Storm Surge Nov 2026.

Of course there will always be core of maga (about 10-15% of the US population, about 20% of maga) who will always blame anybody and anything but their patron saint donald.
