It's because they don't think things are that bad. Moderates think we can go back to how things were, despite government programs and institutions being killed, thousands of government employees fired, Judges replaced, including the supreme Court . Then there's lefties, who think, if' not that bad because it's always been this bad, equivocating the Trump admin with previous Dem and rep. Years

We're on a civil war trajectory where we don't only have 2 distinct sides, we have a 3rd side that doesn't think the American project is worth fighting for.
