They don't just emote. They also vote, eventually. Unfortunately, a lot don't vote, in part because everybody else has been emoting so loudly that that don't want to get involved. And worse, that "vote, eventually" has led us to be pretty complacent about what happens between elections. The social compact has us vote every couple of years then just go about our business, because too much participation is unwieldy. That's fine, until you're undergoing a real-live coup, and you're stuck waiting to see if elections are even gonna happen. I just don't see people getting up in arms (figuratively) over Direct File. For the people who didn't vote for this administration, it's more evidence of what they already knew. For those who did, it's a small nudge in the direction of "maybe that wasn't a good idea", but only a small one.
