Additional reasons for inaction: 1. They don't know what they can do that will be effective. 2. They don't want to be targeted as dissidents or non-loyalists to the regime. 3. They're drained by their individual economic situations and worries. 4. They're drained by severe disappointment in large swaths of the electorate, and in the failure of checks and balances. 5. Events are so upsetting that they're in denial or consciously avoiding it. It might be reassuring to see huge protests, but I wouldn't encourage individuals to do that anymore, because most of those people will be identified by the various surveillance technologies that we've built. (Half of the surveillance built by techbros, incidentally.) The identified can then be further suppressed with automation, and the barriers to doing that are much lower than mass physical roundups and concentration camps.
