What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?

Because I'm not mad about it. In fact, a LOT of the country isn't mad about it. That's how and why Trump won the election.
Lemmy needs to come to terms with the fact that Lemmy's opinions are not the majority right now.
- Not yet 🙂
  You're in trouble like the rest of us. You just don't know it yet.
  
  I'm not in trouble at all. I'm financially independent, in a rural town, with my own place and land, and I don't work for anyone.
  And I also know that you the world isn't going to end just because Trump is president. You all just doomscroll all day. Go outside. No one takes this as seriously as Lemmy does. lol
  
  You think you're in the clear and you're cool with Trump and all. But there's one thing I know: the minute he wrongs you - be it your tax return check not being mailed because the IRS is in shambles, or the water at your tap tasting like shit because the EPA is in shambles and someone started fracking in your area, or ICE invading your property because someone told them you're harboring illegal migrants... you'll become the most ardent Trump hater.
  It's always the same with evangelists: all it takes is one little thing and they flip so hard they become rabid haters of what they used to believe in.
  
  It's the typical conservative mindset, "It doesn't affect me so I don't care."
  
  None of that is gonna happen. I'm not worried. You have a chance to vote for some democrat next election. Do do that. I like Trump.
  
  Good luck
  
  I'm having a great time so far.
  
  What do you like most? The rampant corruption, the oligarchs siphoning money directly out of your taxes, the farmers being hurt and some who are yet to know it, or just the growth of racism and sexism brought on by this?
  Number of working class people hurt: millions Number of billionaires helped, hundreds Number of idiots who think the trickle down effect works: To many illiterate people. Helping China and Russia daily.
  Mothers of our kids and those kids, hurt daily. Enjoy yourself. But everything I said is true and some day maybe you'll see it. Until then, your ignorance is bliss
  
  All that happened before Trump took office. You think this just started in the last month or so?! lmao
  Were you this angry when Biden was in office and did nothing to help you?
  
  Hahahahaha
  Both sides nonsense with no evidence always helps nothing. Please show me what you are referring too
