It seems like the majority of people have no clue what is going on right now in this country. They just go on about their lives as if nothing at all is happening. I definitely get not stressing about this full time, but, at least for me, it has been hard to pay attention to much else.
Apart from people being oblivious, when they are shown information or told about what is going on, many just seem to shrug it off as if it is no big deal, like it won't affect them.
It has made me feel like I'm completely losing my mind. Most people that I talk to have no idea that the President is likely going to enforce the insurrection act or martial law. Many have no idea that China has heavily invaded our country.
And even when they are told about it...they still just shrug their shoulders.
Am I the only one that is dealing with this?
People act like this is something new but in reality, it's actually not that much different than average people 100, 200, 300, 400+ years ago. Oftentimes, the average person didn't care who rules the government because they had no say in it. To your average farmer, it didn't matter if the government was French, English, American, or whatever as long as taxes were reasonable and the government wasn't oppressive.
This still holds true today. Your average peasant, so most people you talk to, don't care who runs the country as long as they feel like they can still have a life. Most people's lives today consist of porn, sex, drugs, social justice causes, video games, tv/movies/books, dog/cat and that's about it. Presumably, they'll still have all of that under Biden and Chinese overlords. Few people understand how their freedom has been stripped or that they are being exploited for the true value of their labour by their new masters. This is mostly intangible and not something average people understand.
As I'm sure others have pointed out, there were very few Americans that actually wanted out of British rule, most Americans were fine with it. For the average person, it's easier to just accept new masters than do anything about it or even begin to understand or care.
