    Because people in other areas aren’t being personally affected much (yet). And they think they can’t afford to lose pay or get fired; instead they’ll just lose their country.

      It’s not so much that people aren’t affected. It’s that most don’t want to risk being the first mover. Firing 1 person for missing work is easy. Firing half your staff for ye same thing is a lot harder for businesses.

      The plus side is that it’s akin to a supersaturated solution. Once a crystal does form, it can grow and spread rapidly.

        Also most people are lazy and don’t give a shit.

        People can’t stop using Twitter - the absolute smallest of inconveniences - to quit supporting a Nazi. Actually doing a real thing, with potential real consequences - is beyond what most Americans appear to be willing to do.

      Lol, I’m sorry, you think we haven’t already lost our country?

      It’s good to see optimists here on Lemmy.

      Oh, and yeah, very few can afford to miss a day of work. I feel like people not from here don’t believe that… Maybe check your privilege.
