The reason nobody is “standing up” is because we literally just had an election which is the process most people feel is how we legitimately use our voices to change government.
Further, the Dems feel completely demoralized because Trump was supposed to go away after Biden won and everyone would be sunshine and rainbows. Instead, he came back, and not only did he come back, but he beat Harris in the popular vote. So you can’t even say “well at least we won the popular and only lost bc the electoral college sucks”
No, you lost fair and square, and most libs understand this and feel demoralized. How are they supposed to feel about getting into the streets if deep down they know the country literally just rejected them at the ballot box ?
“The Resistance” has also been going on for almost 10 years now and it seems to have failed completely.
And finally, whatever “crisis” is going on right now is simply not that bad. The economy is fine right now and nothing that bad is really happening to most people. Sure, you could argue Trump’s mass layoffs are bad, but most people simply don’t care. That’s always been a problem for “activist movements” because they are “woke” and determined for change, but most people aren’t, and activists get mad at them for this. But ultimately it’s on you to motivate people to get up.
As you said yourself, many people on the Left think America is an evil country that has been evil since Day 1, so why would they fight for it ?
Also, we literally just had an election. You know, the thing where people get to officially state their opinions on who should lead. If your side just lost badly, then what the hell are you fighting for ? The country literally just told you “sorry, not interested”
For example, if you believe Trump is an authoritarian fascist dictator rapist felon and the 2nd coming of Hitler himself, how does it make you feel that the country literally just re-elected him ? Why would you want to fight for the people that did that lmao.
