All of which gen pop sits on their hands and enables.

I don’t see them in the street protesting for universal healthcare until it happens.

The public is nihilistic until their jobs are threatened, even then a single weekend warrior protest and back to the office. The sort of indifference for others until the issue hits home is endemic in America; see Republicans who hate gays until a niece or nephew comes out the closet. Sad, sad, people

Politicians come from American communities, families, schools… it’s a shame so many live with the stress of the cognitive dissonance of their lack of effort and their projection of empty platitudes and memes about themselves

I 100% agree with this, this is what the majority asked for (and probably still want, hatred seems to run deeper than self-interest).
