They don't think they have the power to do things themselves to make their lives better (and often they're right for all kinds of reasons, many psychological).

2. Buyer's remorse. There is a certain "Oh SHIT" factor.
3. Paranoia about DC and the fear that has been instilled in them about terrorists and black people. They're afraid that something bad would happen to them.
4. The "movement" isn't a movement. It's a hostile takeover. Now that we libtards have been put in our places they don't actually give two fucks about any causes or convictions. They can slap one another on the back and pretend they won and go back to doing...nothing.
