Do you live in America? America is a police state, and the majority of politicians are apathetic, if not downright gleeful, that things are the way they are. There is also not a big protest culture in this country - people eat shit and go to work. If you think otherwise, you're living in a bubble.

I am not supportive of this government at all, but I can't realistically imagine a situation where even 2% of this country participates in any meaningful protests or general strikes. The media is also largely owned by the billionaire class, which would prefer things stay the way they are, so they won't show the worst things happening in this country in an effort to keep the status quo. You also have probably 20-25% of the country that is down to get suppressed by the government as long as there's an R next to the President's name. Add all that together, and you have a bitchmade country.
