I’m kind of confused by why these consequences didn’t hit home earlier
Many people who were opposed to the war focused on less persuasive argumentative approachs such as implying that anyone who supported it was a warmonger, calling Bush a war criminal or focusing purely on the number of deaths.
I suspect that people were more focused on expressing their frustration or signalling their tribal allegience rather than trying to actually change anyone’s mind and that likely contributed to this delay.
