Americans are not happy. Some are even frustrated. A healthy percentage are flustered. A tiny percentage have protested. Ready to seize back our country? Not even close.

Life is hard, people have lives to live and bills to pay. People generally do not rise up to oppose a gradual eroding of liberty. They don't actually care if elections are stolen. Higher taxes on someone else doesn't move them. Even someone else's child getting raped and killed is only interesting and useful as it serves partisan interests.

It seems that the white hats lack the media resources to get enough mileage out of emotional manipulation. The majority of people will get close to the line as a result of all these philosophical or external issues. The push over the line seems to require economic collapse and/or severe and sudden infringement on freedom.

So, it's just not bad enough yet. Getting closer, but not there yet.
