the sociology/anthropology explanation is: politics is about violence. (game theory optional). in the best possible case humanity have achieved, it's veiled violence thru community participation. in the most common, it's via money. and the actors choose the fights based on return. so you fight (with money) when you have something to gain. and you have nothing to gain improving a system that changes nothing in your life. yet someone who employees lots of illegal immigrants will want deportations so they can pay even less. the protests happen when people see a return on something they didn't before.
