Certainly a great many people fear to deal with it, or feel (with reason) that dealing with it will be useless and just want to get on with their lives. And of course many feel that expressing their opinions overtly may be dangerous, even physically dangerous. Some will have been to demonstrations and observed later that the demonstrations didn't change anything. If there were a serious Left in America maybe it could be working on its tactics. But apparently there isn't.
It's not about left and right. It's about unity. I've kept my eyes out for calls to demonstrate but it's not bad enough in America yet. They're raising hell in Europe though.
Oliver Anthony's song Rich Men North of Richmond has touched a chord worldwide. He said it was funny when they played his song at the republican debates because they are the ones he sang about.
In the traditional meaning of the word, the Left were the people who were left after the formation of the Right, the Right being, those who were on the side of power, authority, private wealth, the established order, high social status, and the cultivation of the military virtues required to maintain this class system. The Left, then, were those who preferred peace to war, freedom to subordination, equality to rank. You can see these were once useful distinctions for describing political conflict. And that is why their old meanings have been obscured and they have often been replaced by their opposites. But as for Richmond, there are plenty of rich men north, south, east, west, and directly in the middle of Richmond, and imagining otherwise -- regional tribalism -- will make it easy for the rich men to continue to control us.
Correct about the rich, the Oligarchs who own the media and the politicians. They use those tools to keep us divided hence conquered. The feigned opposition of the Uniparty in Congress is Kabuki Theater for infotainment to keep the viewers enthralled.
The word "enthralled" is derived from the Norse word "thrall" which means slave.
