Unfortunately, too many people are fine with watching others suffer under Democrats until it hits them right in the wallet, while being beaten over the head with a 2x4 saying "This is for your own good".  Then some of them might get a clue.  Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see some people are figuring it out. But, it is also unfortunate that I have met a few people who don't care how much they suffer personally, as long as everyone else around them has it worse.  Some people are sick in the head, and they'll never get a clue.  It's important to be aware that they exist.  Almost everyone knows someone like that, but never realized it, because it comes out in other ways.  An acquaintance told me about after his dad passed away, one of the special things his dad left him was an old guitar (IIR - it was a Gibson).  It wasn't worth a lot, maybe $2K-$3K, but his aunt was determined to get it, and thought she should be first in line.  She went to court to get the guitar.  When he complained to her that this was costing more than the guitar was worth she said, and I quote "I don't care what it costs.  If I don't get the guitar, than neither will you".
