People have lives and the issue lies in the fact that the federal government has so much power and influence that we all care about that but then forget about politics when it comes to municipalities.
Most people I know are against what their cities do, but they don't vote against it and only just complain. Like I get it, they shouldn't be doing such outrageously stupid shit but if you just let people do dumb stuff they'll keep doing it.
Remember that sports and sitcoms were invented to keep you ignorant, sedate and away from the political process!
This is actually a good point. When reading a dystopian novel for school my teacher had us decide on the top things we thought was most important for a dictator to take over to gain/maintain control. They pointed out the fact that no one pointed out sports, yet every dictator uses sports events, music concerts, etc. to do this very thing.
