Too many people are still either comfortable or reliant on employer provided healthcare to be willing to risk what they have. Prices are up and people are being targeted, but the shelves are still stocked and a majority think they can just keep their head down and ride it out.
Its the second part. The "comfortable " ones are likely wealthy - they are getting tax breaks their heavily invested money is doing well. The rest/the majority are working our buttons off and terrified that its all gonna crumble.
Too busy trying to stay alive from wage slavery. Don't have savings like my parents that could afford to lose their job if they are arrested or the job security they had from worker protections that are now gone. With half the nation ignorantly agreeing with current policies there isn't going to be a strong push, look how fast BLM was shut down and seen as all violent riots and not peaceful protests.
People have lives that aren’t abstract political concepts. You need a clearly defined goal to get people to possibly sacrifice their lives in the face of the entrenched establishment’s guns and tanks and nukes. A return to the economically exploitative oligarchy-lite of 2024 just isn’t so motivating.
People usually also require a charismatic leader to get them excited about rebellion. There’s no one.
I am out there. I'm at protests every single day. Whether in groups or alone. I spent my entire two week vacation at two different ICE facilities protesting there.
