58. There is complacency, yes
But it isn't as extensive or as penetrating as you think. I think the main reason people don't do anything is because they think that, even though the system is broken, it will fix itself somehow. For example, look at the assumption that we will 'win' the November elections and start to put things right again. If things are as bad as some suggest, there is no way to 'win' this election, because it is rigged. They hope that it isn't, they want to work within the system to fix it, and they are waiting for the outcome in November. If it does turn out to be rigged, things will I think change rapidly.
