Sadly, most Americans are either too happy in their ignorance of issues caused by our own government or just don’t have enough empathy to act just because someone else is getting screwed by our own government.
The facts and consequences have to slap most Americans directly in the face like a Muhammed Ali “phantom punch” before they will react. The only good thing is that when most, regular Americans finally feel that punch they DO react.
When the truth about Texas School Boards and the LGBTQ+ indoctrination that was being pushed in so many districts hit home and was exposed, many Texas School Boards were upended by complete turn overs of every seat available to a more conservative set of members. The reaction was swift, just, and thorough...but it took people in each district finally realizing that teachers and schools do not always have the best interest of the children at heart...they say they do, but their actions show otherwise.
“The only good thing is that when most, regular Americans finally feel that punch they DO react.”

Your example of the TSB notwithstanding, the problem is that the culture has changed and the number of regular Americans of the kind we once knew are fewer and fewer. Texas may be a notable (and commendable) exception but cultural deterioration is sweeping across most of the rest of the country. That’s a big problem.
