Your revealing what I hope other countries may see in the future, trust the people not the state actors. Trying to help them spot the difference is going to be more difficult going forward. Americans need to take a very hard look at what’s being done to the rest of the world. Sadly I don’t think the majority care nor do I feel they are capable of understanding anything outside this bubble built around them 
Discussion
the majority do care. they just haven’t known. But i know a secret the State doesn’t know yet. I’ve heard the soccer moms at starbucks talking about how we can no longer trust the government. I’ve heard about what is being talked about in small churches across the country.
the slowest to see and slowest to change are seeing and changing.
“A thing is about to happen which has not happened since the elder days. The Ents are going by to wake up and find that they are strong”
Your not wrong in that they “care”
My sample size is far to small, and biased, and my hope is to be wrong in my assumptions. However, I will not trust until I can verify.
It will only take yet another shining Cesar
That will fix all the things wrong.
“Oh did ya hear about the new thing we are to be mad/glad about “
“I can’t wait for sportsball season to start”
Etc
Hopefully, you are right ! Maybe the true Cesar within will awaken and ignite the ability of critical thinking that has been systematically beaten out of them their whole lives ! Trust the science! Even though the experts seem always in a state of “surprise”
Senators and congressman are more unpopular then serial killers yet 98% keep on trucking
We will remain constant in our preparations . I will feed you if your hungry, I will help protect you when needed, but you’ll remain on the front porch
Sats will continue to be stacked even if “ morals” improve
