People aren't that smart and don't think like that. They think that they are hurting and don't like feeling forced and will look for who is "on their side and punishing up" or even just become apathetic. You are able to see the long picture and be rightfully scared of it but then it's up to us to point that out to the people who have power and ability to do something about it. And raise awareness where possible.
He, nor I, have any logical statement on how it will get better for it being worse just that reality is what is. It would be likely a lot worse should Republicans get everything they want, but the Democrats need to see they won't get votes just for whipping like the Republicans.
You are having an emotional response cause you are scared and shooting the messenger.
