The people in charge didn't run on this. Most of the real orchestrators are appointees, anyway. They're about to get a reality check fairly soon. I wouldn't be surprised if Hegseth were sacrificed. Rubio, the real brains behind the operations, will probably hold on somehow.

If Americans elect Rubio after all this, or resoundingly reelect a Republican congress, I think you have a better claim.

Tl;dr they don't accept it, but they keep getting tricked
