> Why did the people who are meant to be our leaders not do anything? This is by design. A representative democracy is not intended to do what the people want. The representatives know the people are ignorant, obedient, comfortable, and scared. So the people just stand there mouths agape while the representatives do (or not do) whatever they want. The only consequence comes from other representatives. No representative fears the people. They're sheep.
