I expect those same people have also applied the flawed reasoning of "since traitors didn't get elected three weeks ago to key roles like SOS in swing states the whole worry about democracy being in peril was just a big nothing burger." To do that though they probably used the same flawed reasoning as the Y2K deniers did after nothing disastrous happened on 1/1/2000, ignoring the fact that the reason nothing went wrong on 1/1/2000 was because a whole lot of people fretted about it and sounded alarms about it before hand and then the necessary resources were used to prevent disaster. I doubt you'll ever thank people like me for saving our government but "you're welcome".
You can wear your gaudiest bones and feathers for an ostentatious anti-dragon ritual. But if no dragons appear even though you spent $53,000,000 on dragon bait, and you demand gratitude for your magic, do you really expect people to give it to you? And to heed your next warning about the coming jabberwocky threat?
