I would say the pain started around 2016, with temporary gains in 2020, more pain in 2025, followed by gains last week with the overturned tariffs and today with Noem’s firing, with the jackpot on deck for November (nothing will stop the Blue Tsunami).

I know you were referring to the “payoff” promised by the republicans for our patience through the current suffering, I just reframed for what we can actually expect.
