The majority aren’t at the point where they are willing to sacrifice everything yet. They have families, homes, food, friends. Currently the administration hasn’t taken away enough from enough people to get it really going. It will be coming though. People just haven’t felt the affects yet

Because people believe that they might be able keep what they have if they keep quiet and also believe they might loose their way or life or in general their life if they take up arms

Their way of life is disintegrating before their eyes. Even the people who have generational wealth will start to see their small hoard be taken. What they really want is to ride it out as long as possible and they think the status quo will save them. They think the status quo is invincible. I’m telling you the status quo just got purged from the government but keep on hoping.

Serious question: wouldn’t the MAGA/Republicans just pick up arms in return?
It feels like the divide in the US is so massive right now that you can’t agree on anything at all. No offence intended…thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 6 days ago

As a young man (I’m under 30) with 2 kids I feel stuck like this. A lot of the protesting actions I would have taken are tapered by “I have to be around for my kids”, but at the same time this country is not how I want my kids to be raised in and I don’t know my own red line for this. Suffice to say if I’m thinking about this 3 weeks into Trump’s America, then I hope I will feel compelled to be more active. NYC might be coming to a heat with the Mayor Adam’s BS so I’m keeping my eye out for any manifestations in the city.
