Hi
average folks don’t get THAT ACTIVE in politics, especially not at the federal level which is, for the most part, out of reach from Kalamazoo or Chattanooga or Tuskegee or Cucamonga
they hope that the supposed-political-opposition and the once-upon-a-time honest judiciary will keep WashDC from getting too corrupted or captured by the communists
as is all-too=clear now, that’s been a misplaced hope
From what I see, they really aren’t active other than to vote in presidential elections. Voter turnout is lower for state and local elections. They don’t think those elections are all that important and don’t realize how wrong they are. It starts at home.
At least I’m old enough that I won’t have to live too long in the mess that lies ahead. The younger people, not so lucky.
