It wouldn't have mattered, as a consistent theme with Trump is that voters do not believe he is going to do what he says he is going to do. They'll just have to get what they voted for before they learn.

My fear is that they won't realize that they're 'getting what they voted for'. When the consequences come, they'll find someone else to blame' Trump will tell them who to blame if needed.
MAGA will always find someone else to blame - I agree. But there are a lot of voters who aren't ideologically committed to the Trump project, and simply think of Trump as the "good economy guy". If the economy tanks under a 2nd Trump presidency, many of those voters will hold him responsible.
Understanding your appropriate total lack of empathy for the blind mice, a problem is that We will also get what They voted for...and we learned that lesson long ago. Abusing a wonderful ad slogan from decades ago, "You got what you prayed for."
Indeed - but unfortunately, I think the only thing that's going to wake voters up is a dose of the hard medicine which he promised them, but which they didn't take seriously.
If he follows through on his promised economic plan, it will be rough sledding until the midterms, but once Dems are swept back into Congress they'll be able to start undoing some of the damage.
This is one area where we need to do the actual organizing, the actual accountability, the actual pushback, as Bill put it - election administration, which includes counting the votes, in GOP-controlled state legislatures. So that there will be free and fair Congressional elections in 2O26.

My schadenfreude is in overdrive. Even as I agree MAGAs will assign blame to Dems.
