“I can’t see how the Democrats can avoid this thing back-firing on their party. I can see thousands of people camped out at their congress critters’ offices demanding they DO something to fix the situation.”
You answered your own question. Dems will avoid this by constituents demanding they “do something”, which they will, rearranging the pain to satiate the complainers and irritate someone else, repeating the cycle and imputing blame on the Right. Always works. Nobody cares how the problem happened, only that “somebody DO something”.
Democrat voters won't be the only ones demanding a solution. Plenty of our folks are going to get hurt by this too, and they're not going to abide the sort of 'solution' the Commiecrats will offer.
The country is going to explode over this. The fallout is going to be tremendous.
