The consequences are already happening for people, you are just in a comfortable enough position where you can accept the status quo. To a lot of people it doesn't matter and while you might say to those people "Fuck you,I don't care if Dems gave failed you for forty years, I'm doing ok still so vote for who I say." the bullying and demanding just isn't working on people anymore.
Time for neoliberals to be the ones to start compromising. If they don't want to they can come down here with everyone else and get an education.
