That's because most Americans don't really care. Their more concerned about imposing their views on others than they are about having others' views imposed on them. That's the problem with majority rule: the majority always think they won't have that problem.
Well put on 'majority rule' communitarianism. As you say, many here simply don't understand that they've bought into 'the new deal'..
A Communitarian Ethos
Roosevelt gave a speech at the People's Forum in Troy, NY in 1912.
There he declared that western Europeans and Americans had achieved victory in the struggle for "the liberty of the individual," and that the new agenda should be a "struggle for the liberty of the community."
The wrong ethos for a new age was, "every man does as he sees fit, even with a due regard to law and order." The new order should be, "march on with civilization in a way satisfactory to the well-being of the great majority of us."
In that speech Roosevelt outlined the philosophical base of what would eventually become the New Deal. He also forecast the rhetorical mode by which "community" could loom over individual liberty.
"If we call the method regulation, people hold up their hands in horror and say 'un-American,' or 'dangerous,'" Roosevelt pointed out. "But if we call the same identical process co-operation, these same old fogeys will cry out 'well done'.... cooperation is as good a word for the new theory as any other.
