An interesting point; but this I think is part of the problem.
No offence to you, Andres, but that is a rather complacent viewpoint.
"As long as I have my boat, my truck, and my cabin next to the lake, I don't care what happens with politics."
But that attitude is a perfect way to lose you boat, your truck, and your cabin next to the lake. Or to lose it for your children.
Complacency is part of the problem here.
