No, you'll need fast decisive action (before the midterms at the latest, more likely within the year) to stop this madness or you'll become another fascist dictatorship set on a course of cannibalization of both itself and anyone else it can get its hands on. Let's not gets things mixed up here; the slow and steady option ceased to exist at least in Novembe and likely as early as August, and the result of failing isn't a hollow rotting dictatorship. I'm from a hollow rotting dictatorship, and fascism is not that nice.
I absolutely agree that we could potentially turn this around in mid-terms... but that's a ways away, and criminal organizations with time to plan will absolutely make every effort to sabotage those elections. And it's not like they don't have both the full power of the executive office and the wealthiest people in the world to enact their plans. I don't have a lot of confidence that our existing systems are adequate for saving the country.
