How is it damaging to them now? I think they are trying to get ahead of it, but in terms of trying to outrun a tidal wave.

I think at some point the oligarchs will decide the Ukraine situation is costing them more than it's worth, so it will be dropped like last year's virus. A summer of high gas prices will likely be hung around Biden's neck as well and with Hunter's antics in Ukraine, there will be some effort to tie it up in some tidy, blood soaked package, with Biden as the chosen scapegoat, because by that time, even the Dems will see him as a lost cause.

At some point that great mass of liberals start to realize they really are the suckers and might open their eyes to the fact that safety in numbers is illusory and they actually have to think.
