And basically this whole thread on r/conservatives.

"Every government has a safety net for the most vulnerable. That is called humanity."

What in tarnation. 

You mentioned this a few posts ago: "People's bellies will wake them up".

I'm leaning towards this being true. Some people will start to care when it starts affecting them. I worry because it feels like a lot of people are so far gone, that even when they're getting directly hurt, they'll still convince themselves it wasn't the intention or that it was the Democrat's fault. 

People getting hurt from the policies that they keep voting for, is easily the best chance for people to open their eyes. And I'm expecting that to be the case, that this presidency will be a disaster, that a lot of Republicans will vote Democrat or otherwise decide to stay home.  

There's a part of me still worrying that maybe it still won't be enough, but I'm mostly optimistic.
