At what point does enough of the breakage affect the people who voted for this *cough to happen to others* make them turn off the tv trigger drip long enough to ask if this model of government behaviour is really fine for their families long term future. Because I really do not want to see a future far-left government that is actively taking notes atm.
I played co-ed sports with a couple forest rangers and they were always trying to recruit people because they couldn't be everywhere all the time (or that's what the complaint was I don't know what they actually do but it sounded like a Tom & Jerry or Wile E. Coyote/Roadrunner cartoon with them as the chaser).
They were republican but not sure if they ever fell down the far-right rabbit hole. They would be safe from the firings, but probably not happy about losing new help.
About 55%, who voted, nationally voted for the current president of the USA.
My _opinion_ is around 20-30% of those that voted 'voted for this' or otherwise like it. The other 35-25% maybe didn't get what they voted for; I believe if None of the Above (reject everyone and give all new candidates) had been on the ticket in ANY sort of instant runoff voting system, would have voted for that with higher preference.
I'm for _requiring_ that everyone who is eligible to vote, does so. They're free to officially abstain. I'd like for None of the Above to be a mandatory option for all votes with the effects described above. I'd also like for ANY Instant Runoff Voting system, though I prefer "Path Vote" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method ) I do mean any IRV method.
I would also like, FFS, if we're going to HAVE primaries at all, that they're always open and required, no free passes in.
Finally, all Elections should be Voting Holidays. I'd love if every state did all Mail In Ballots like WA state. I'd also like any ballot mailed before midnight at the end of the Voting Holiday to be postmarked, and counted (but please get your votes in early).
I'd like all Non-Emergency votes to be limited to the 4th of July and Nov (whatever the format is) as those Voting Holidays.
I think people care. People are angry about this coup and scared about what might happen next. At the moment, I wonder if people are waiting for Trump's opponents in government to fight back. It's looking increasingly doubtful they will accomplish anything, though. I think we'll start to see larger protests soon.

A subset that is almost as large was appalled by this.
