Most of the people I know are living very comfortably and I seriously doubt that more than two of them would seriously consider upsetting that apple cart. Their view is that since they are comfortable and their children are not struggling too hard then so what if the public schools continue to fall apart. Their kids went to private schools and that’s what counts.
Now everyone of these folks is a hard working, honest person. They complain more about the loss of English speaking counter help at the fast food businesses than they do about the loss of national sovereignty.
Most of them support the local political campaigns but they aren’t what I would consider patriots. I think they have decided there is nothing they can do since the Republicans and Democrats both seem to be on the same track.
If you start pointing out how much better off they’d be, upsettign the current “dung cart” and trading it in for a real apple cart starts to look a lot more viable.
