Had the hard talk with my dipshit lib friends about this. Here's how it went down.
Me: The insane right is destroying your concept of normal, whether Dems are in office or not. If the Dems respond the conservatives will go apeshit, but if the Dems do nothing the right goes apeshit anyways. Regardless, the Dems don't do anything, and haven't done anything in 40+ years. Biden is hated by Dem voters for not doing shit and by Republicans because he's a Democrat.
Them: You're right.
Me: So what are you going to do about it?
Them: WELL IF EVERYONE JUST VOTED BLUE THE NEXT ELECTION...
That's about when I turned off my brain and went back to drinking mixed whiskey drinks.
Libs have a hard time picturing a different way because they like the idea of the institutions more than they care about the material consequence of them and because they're usually pretty comfortable with the status quo - even if it means they aren't getting everything they want. I dunno what's gonna shake them out of this, hopefully we don't have to wait for a worse crisis than the last few years...

Also, plan A sucks.
