People have very very short attention spans. The election is pretty much forgotten. The coup is almost forgotten - with no consequences for anybody. The expectation for change as promised will be forgotten soon as well as people go back to collecting unemployment or minimum wages, IN the fall a first drumbeat of reminders wills tart appearing that will get louder and louder, telling people about all the empty promises. It will come for the republicans and the progressive liberals simultaneously. The few whoa re even interested in the mid-terms will cast their verdict. It's very predictable and has nothing to do with the current situation. It's all in the basic understanding on how to use power and beliefs in unity/collaboration.
