The American people mostly have paid for investigations and all the associated turmoil and expense because Democrats hated Trump for beating Hillary.
The American people have paid as the DOJ has concentrated on finding nonexistent dirt on Trump due to that hatred, instead of doing their jobs.
The American people have paid with the results of a dishonest election which emplaced the most incompetent, and arguably intentionally damaging Administration, ever, especially losing the value of their savings, their paychecks, and purchasing power to inflation while invading hordes are ushered in across a border reduced to a sick joke by policy.
We have paid for the Democrats perfidy, hatred, and even treason, which they attempt to justify and in the incarceration and continued persecution of people who attended a rally which is an affront to the Constitution and a result of Democrat scheming, including the collusion of LEOs and the then Speaker of the House.
This is no way to run a nation, based on the hatred of your countrymen, and reeks of the behaviour of Bolsheviks, Nazis, and other totalitarians who later moved on to Genocide.
Only here, the victims will fight back if it goes that far.
