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?
Not quite the same magnitude, but there was a bus I used to catch every day, and in the summer I'd get on, and invariably it was packed and intensely hot in there, with the air conditioner off. On the first occasion, I just asked the bus driver if he could turn on the a/c, and he was like "oh, sorry, sure!" and turned it on, relieving everyone.
The same thing happened on at least 10 other occasions, to the point it became a habit that I'd anticipate it and immediately ask the bus driver to turn on the a/c as soon as I got on.
People in general REALLY don't like speaking up or going against the grain.
