I wish I could write that I am more optimistic than you are, but I cannot. Like you I hope in hindsight to be wrong. My heart breaks because I do not want that one more incident to happen while at the same time think that true change may not come without it.
The vote to release the Epstein files was such a change. As soon as there were enough votes to pass everyone jumped on the bandwagon, not wanting to be on the side protecting pedophiles.
If only we could force a similar inflection point with ICE. The appropriations bill?
Great analysis, but depressing. That’s probably why HCR is more popular than you are - she’s Pollyanna, and that’s what people want to hear. But at some point, don’t people realize the Pollyannas are just wrong? I did. And that’s depressing, too ☹️. Looking forward to good news in the (not-too-distant) future…

You say there's a 20% chance of real change. How do define that real change?
Trump's impeachment? ICE abolished? Masks no longer allowed?

I fear your analysis is right.
