It is a crucible moment for American society. If nothing happens and we deem this kind of theft acceptable, it is the beginning of the end of the American empire. It's just a level of disrespect and lack of care for this country. I think I will be waiting and observing how important it is to root this out. That's number one. The second, which is more tactical political calculus, this is an enormous opportunity for the Republican party. If they take this and run with this, is there waste, fraud, and abuse in every state? Absolutely. I don't think this is endemically a Democratic problem, but the scale of it is so gargantuan in these Democratic states that if the
Republicans don't take advantage of it, I think it is a huge political miscalculation. So there is this tactical opportunity which I think if you want to have a chance in the midterms and if you generally want to have a chance to level set the country, you must take this and run with it. And then separately, if as Freebrook says, it does die on the vine, it is the beginning of the end of the American Empire.
