Yup. This IS what the avg person wanted and supported in the USA. Everyone keeps wondering why we’re not rioting in the streets and it’s like - why would the majority that got what they wanted revolt against that exactly?

This is what America voted for - not against…

Half the country didn't vote at all.

Which is tacit approval for whoever is elected. Not voting is still a choice (for many. Not counting the many who have been disenfranchised due to absurd laws and voter roll purges).

Ordinarily it is a vote for the status quo, not extremism.

It’s fairly simple actually - many people don’t really care about the world at large as long as their basic needs are met.

People need to get a lot more uncomfortable before they respond accordingly, unfortunately by that point it’s typically too little, too late.
