      Americans are apathetic, misinformed, dissuaded or exhausted by everything going on the last 8 years or so.

      Would be totally surprised if major public protests happened. People mainly just look out for themselves. That’s the American way. Community has been removed and replaced with TV.

        I mean, the literal design of an American suburb is to make sure everyone stays as individualistic as possible and does not connect or form community. It is by design

          I’ve said this before, and been called crazy, but I can see in almost every dimension of modern existence (~ last 100 years) how individuals are being isolated further and further from each other, by design. The last thing a capitalist or power hungry politician wants is unity and solidarity among common people.
