Does anybody care anymore?

18. I'm not surprised. People will only get angry if their tv is taken away or we start drafting for a war.

I’m 70, and I believe that people have been apathetic for a long time but it does get worse and worse as the years go by. The biggest reaction that happened recently where we got a win was with Jimmy Kimmel. In the past, the only time I’ve seen a big reaction was when they drafted young men for the Vietnam war and when Nixon got caught with all of his corruption. That only lasted for 4 years and the Reagan came along. Bush screwed up the Republicans for a short time with the Iraq war, but that only lasted 8 years. Look at the reaction when Roe was overturned. People always said that it would “kill off” the Republican Party. Trump won (or got enough votes that he could steal the election), the Republicans took over the House from the Democrats one year later, in 2023, and the Senate in 2024. They are still in power. If they get rid of Social Security for the elderly THAT would probably do it. The Republicans and Trump have a reptilian sense of how to propagandize and control people. They use a lot of psyops and social psychology. Don’t forget that Trump correctly said “I could shoot someone in 5th Avenue and my supporters would still support me.”

Until Democrats start using social psychology and propaganda like the Republicans, we will continue to be the minority party.
