Why was there ever a second election? Why not just do it once after the revolution and accept the reality you got? In fact why have the revolution to begin with, why not accept the reality of life under British rule?

that 9% tax on foreign imports of tea?
but today's King has imposed taxes of 25% on foreign imports, but no-one's chucking cars into boston harbour
the US King is also far, far more powerful than George III ever was, as the 1688 Bill of Rights ended absolute monarchy in Great Britain
imagine the horror of the alternate history: the 13 colonies might have ended up like Canada,: slavery banned in 1834, dominion status leading to peaceful independence with workers rights, universal healthcare, mandatory vacations and no daily school shootings
The winds of politics change. People can, and will be, convinced as reality smacks them. It takes longer than expected but reality can never be perpetually denied by everyone.
The key for now is for Democrats to avoid the blame of the obvious problems coming up. Democrats cannot afford to be blamed by the upcoming Government Debt, Funding, Tax changes or possible shutdown.
Protests run the risk of drawing attention back to the Democrats and rallying MAGA to a shared enemy. I don't think that works. It seems like a reasonable political strategy to see how far Trump's team is willing to wreck the economy on their own.
The goal is to have MAGA split. We all know they have a different set of ideologies and are only unified in their hate of liberals.
As the debt balloons due to tax cuts, as Ukraine falls due to Trump's clearance, as TechBros cozy up to China and as wealth transfers to Bitcoin in the largest display of corruption of recent years, people will notice that MAGAs biggest enemies are fellow MAGAs.
