If you're indoctrinated from childhood that you have achieved ultimate freedoms, the concept of fighting for said freedoms feels not just alien to you, but completely disconnected. You can't even understand that you, an American, need to do something. It's like explaining to a fish that water isn't a universal constant. Except, this time fish was never actually in the water and is currently being deep-fried.

Theres plenty of Americans having responses to this. They're not a hive mind.

Zero response? People have been flooding town halls, cutting them down, cheering on people who sabotage them.

There's plenty of responsiveness from the public, but a media blackout and obfuscative government.

The media is lying by omission, and you are believing them. Or you are being paid to spread defeatism online. Which is it?

They know they will end up on a list. There are few overt revolutions.
