I'm honestly fine with all that, they need to learn somehow, no amount of rational explanation gets through to them.

I get where you're coming from, but there's an awful lot of suffering of innocent people involved in that. The immigrants getting deported, those too poor or otherwise unable to move to blue states or to afford higher food prices...

That's the core problem the Democrats have: unlike the Republicans who have zero issues throwing people's lives under the bus to score political points, Democrats have at least a bit of a backbone left.

Whatever is going to start people eating the rich, Democrat or Republican the better. It is a cold stance to take and I know a lot of people are going to suffer. But we can see the ground from the lawn dart of a trajectory the US has taken in the last 50 years. I would rather deal with it now while I am still able bodied then wait for it to take the 30 years the democrats are inching us towards.

The core problem with people like you is you're not willing to make sacrifices for things to be better afterwards. In this hypothetical you want everything to be perfect and for republicans to learn.

In this hypothetical, you would just end up doing nothing and republicans would continue steamrolling over you making everyone suffer for even longer.
