Exactly. I've always said that in the US people don't really care. Even for "important" things like the million woman march, it is fun to do something for 1 day/weekend and then get back to life, all things forgotten. As long as everyone has a flatscreen, Netflix, an iPhone, a decent car and can take a vacation, no one gives a crap. Despite life being materially worse than other times in the past, it is still better than most of the world. People rise up when they have nothing to lose. That isn't the case and won't be for quite a while.
