You have to remember that these Ignorant Elitists are ideologues. They can't see reality. They can only see their ideology and any fact that goes against that ideology is ignored or evaded.

My hope is that we can get these career politicians out (and hopefully jailed afterwards). But that's a slim hope. We are already in a recession and a depression is almost sure now due to their ignorant meddling. The problem here is that if we are in a depression, the miseducated will elect another FDR - and those types - which will set us back. We need a strong court system that will strike down any laws that aren't 100% constitutional. No legislating from the bench. Any congress-critter that voted for such an unconstitutional law should be removed from office and now allowed to hold any office ever again. I can probably think of more ideas, but most are probably not feasible. .... It's 10:00pm.
