We’ll know they actually believe it when they stop inserting ‘almost’ into the statement. Then we can relax, stop being sucked into the various ‘prevention’ schemes, sit back, and watch it not happen.
But, of course, the moment they pronounce it hopeless, their chance of peddling their ‘solution’ disappears, so I doubt that’ll ever happen.
We’ll know they actually believe it when the rich libs start selling their beachfront property.
Nothing else will convince me.
