People that are struggling to make ends meet are not going to sit idly by if they are paying taxes and illegals are getting safety net benefits, Wall St keeps getting bailed out and giving itself bonuses, companies keep shipping jobs over seas, and government starts reneging on their promises. They are simply not going to take this BS anymore no matter how much the media spins, lies, and promotes these idiotic domestic and globalist policies. If Trump wasn't an utter moron in communicating why these things have to change, he'd have 65% of the vote.

I think you underestimate the effects of learned helplessness. As in "No one is really going to do anything because no one is really going to do anything, and even if they did, it wouldn't make any difference anyway."
A lot of the same comments were made (almost verbatim) after the "Savings and Loan Crisis" (that everyone seemed to forget rather quickly--without doing too much).
