Americans are being forced to confront our utter lack of political power - our complete inability to get the government to do anything - in a way that we haven& #39;t in decades.
Closest thing in my lifetime was the war against Iraq and the realization that we couldn& #39;t do a damn thing to stop it. Even then a lot of Americans remained apathetic, and even more lost interest in follow-through with antiwar efforts once we put Democrats in power in 06 and 08.
Maybe it& #39;ll be different this time since it& #39;s a pandemic hitting us instead of us attacking someone else. But I still have the sinking feeling that a lot of the people yelling at Trump about his response so far are going to tune back out if a Democrat takes the White House.
