It might work, if the American public is naive.

Not only is the public naive, but they are mostly completely stupid and grossly uninformed, even without a crappy media.

It will work, because nobody in Congress wants to call this what it is and the media has been "progressive" for decades. The right has no balls. The left has no integrity. The media has neither. And the public is just willfully and blissfully stupid and/or apathetic.

But really, the Republicans are just being completely idiotic about almost everything. They have the power to get things done, but they refuse. And this is why Democrats will continue to get their way and keep marching toward their failed "progressive"/socialist goals. Both parties are a failure. The government in general is a failure. Time to try something different...like not forcing people to fund murderous, corrupt nincompoops and their buddies.
