IMO, what's going on is increased exposure to reach more and more people.

The DS has lost its grip on control, but has had many plans and contingencies that are delaying things, but it's something like in chess where the other player has lost some significant pieces and can't realistically win, absent serious mistakes, but can still cause delays.

So, we see positive moves, then delays or denials, but it's not us that needs to come to terms with all this, but even the majority of normies. I understand that sense of occasional depression creeping in because things are moving too slowly.

Even after the tables turn, it will just mean that the battle is joined. It won't likely be smooth of a process.
