This is the class of behavior that is so desperately needed across the country to show our elected servants who's really in charge of this country: the people of the United States, not the oligarchs.

But the people outside looking in might believe it. It would have to cause consistent outrage all over, likely from being personally affected.

It will, it definitely will. It's going to personally affect a lot of people or people they care about, like their friends and family members. Just the USAID and NOAA, and some of the farm bill programs, farmers especially will be affected, along with the whole infrastructure of business that depends on them. And that's not even counting what will happen when the tariffs go into effect!

But yes at least for now, they're counting on the media and those looking in and not affected to believe it.
