I'm visiting North Texas right now and there's barely anyone out doing anything... the malls are empty and there's very few people around, and the ones that are out keep to themselves like they're stocking up for their prepper bunker and worried about interacting with anyone.
The Christian Taliban like things the way they are: consent manufactured of us "plebs" staying out of politics. That should spur people that there's something rotten and they better get involved and get out vote, or other lesser people take control of their lives for them.
