    I am not really surprised. As long as people are not starving and they have any kind of recreational activities (social media, streaming, alcohol, drugs), they won’t do shit. The ancient romans already new about that. They gave the people “bread and circuses”.

      The thing is, we have no straws. We’ll just removed and moan about Roe and the school shooting du jour, but not much good comes out of it.

      But other countries do have protests and riots for a lot less. I think the reason it doesn’t happen in America is mostly because of the lack of organized unions and stuff like that.

      Where I live if some law suggested doctors could be facing jail time for providing care to someone who had a miscarriage, it wouldn’t take a week for doctors to go on strike, which would probably be organized by their union. And even anti-choice doctors would strike too.
