A big part of the problem is the way Lee frames the situation: "I continue to believe the federal government owns far too much land ..." We need to make it clear to him (and others) that We the People own the land and that the federal government simply manages it for us, in trust.
The press can help, too, by not referring to government "ownership," but rather "management." Many people are starting to refer to them as "national" public lands, rather than "federal," as a way to reinforce that and make the distinction because of the anti-Washington attitudes that are common across much of the West.
Lee will be back again with attempts to sell them off again and again until it’s done. Give it to the Republicans for their teamwork and dedication to complete their Project 2025 agenda and have shown us that they can win evil and bad policies as they destroy this nation and the constitution. Republicans have the green light for continued looting of the nation to benefit the ultra wealthy, destroying civil and humanitarian policies, etc. Democrats cannot get a thing accomplished as we watch the rights being stripped away and the violence towards ppl! Ppl need to rise up cause that is all we have left! It’s on us…we the ppl.
"Thanks for your attention to this matter." But for real though, this is an important point. Being a conservationist is like being a tree. You've got to weather storms.. This was a big one. Undoubtedly, more are coming in the next 3.5 years. God speeds fellows. Let's not go gently.

For now, but the threat remains.
