    Possible, yes. Sadly too many libs are still too comfortable to get going at the moment. They have been trained to maybe “feel” about things being messed up, but not to do anything about it. The masses are still caught up in fighting and “owning” each other to stop the elites that keep the fighting happening. They are taught that voting is the most important thing, but also that voting for anything other than the two “acceptable” parties is basically the same as not voting or otherwise siding with the other team. We see sparks happen here and there, but they only know performance stuff (like some big marches and holding signs for a day or three).

    They go home with a fake feeling of having done anything. But the parties just wait them out or say shit like “we hear and see you”. Then it just goes back to “normal”. People showed up for the 2020 stuff, but then the side that claimed to be concerned just funded the oppressors even more. We saw people actually storm the capital while yelling about freedom. Just to then take pics and maybe deface some things and leave. So even the ones that claim to want to “take back America” literally just left instead of doing anything mildly like what they claimed to want. I don’t support the fascist shit they keep buying into while claiming that antifascists are Nazis. But it shows that even the ones that go out of their way to talk so much tough shit aren’t really about doing shit. And those are people that try to out “patriotic” each other.

    The main masses are too caught up in pretend stuff and just get annoyed at anyone that brings up politics and just repeat lies that they were taught (like communism being bad/evil/failed, or even that anarchy is 100% chaos and crimes). For them they just want to get done at work and be entertained. Comfort may not mean that they are rich or otherwise well off, but that they have enough to not want to lose any of it. They might even tell themselves that they wouldn’t allow something like Nazi Germany or the other fascist nations happen. But they ignore signs and just keep going along. They miss the part where fascism didn’t just happen over night and all of the people were just trapped without hope. Also the pretense of our media being all about truth, while other media in other nations is actually propaganda. They see both left and right as being the same, and place such an extreme on centrism being the solution to everything. Even though they still end up being pulled to the right of middle and believe that private interests are correct because government stuff is default bad (but somehow also correct as long as the private companies say so).

    Though if the greed of companies and lack of any helpful stuff from the government keeps happening. Stuff like healthcare and costs of living (or even education debit) might be enough to wake up more people. However the opportunists and grifters are damn quick at keeping them blaming the wrong people. So then the energy is wasted if we can’t get to them first while they might be open to understanding.
