Lot of protest over the last few years about non issues. Nobody is screaming about inflation reaching 30-40%. Last I checked most Americans were living paycheck to paycheck.

When do people revolt or do they even care? Just get another credit card to max out? Does nobody give a shite our president cant complete a coherent sentence?.

When you vote probably is irrelevant and you realize we live in an oligarchy and not a republic, what can you do?

Sooooo … what do we do? Stand at the cashier at Winn Dixie and demand she lowers the prices as I check out?

I didn’t vote for Biden, I don’t buy unnecessary items, not sure what else I can do.

Americans largely do what they’re told. If they’re told to hit the streets and protest about inflation, they will do so.

There is a group in this country called the Silent Majority. They might not constantly scream on social media about the progressive issue of moment, but they do vote, have families, mortgages, bills, and inflation is indeed impacting them.

Most important issues in USA at the moment:

Killing babies in the womb and grooming the ones that made it out alive.

Because no one is paying them to protest. Sure you have a few Zealots that will protest for free but the rest pocket cash

Pretty much.

If the government can just go in debt forever why can't we.

I think on some level it's been exposed how silly and fake all the funny money is and people sense that. Just get what you can before the Ponzi scheme collapses and Chuck E Cheese won't take our tokens anymore

Its high time you realize most people only get mad about what they're told to get mad about.

95% of all people - including Americans - don’t have the first clue about basic economics. Hell, we have journalists writing articles questioning whether price increases are due to record profits. And there are a ton of people who read them and believe them.

When there is serious shite going on, all they have to do is distract them by making issues that really shouldn't be a big deal, a big deal.

We could have been getting attacked on our homeland by the chinamen and nobody would care if there was an issue with the abortion law.

GWB did it. He needed to distract people from the fact there were no WMD in Iraq so he made gay marriage an issue and people on both sides lost their mind.

Most people are simple and they are distracted by the issues that are easier to understand or whatever they think god doesn't agree with.
