I challenge your premise: They are mad. Not all of them, but plenty of people are upset and angry. More to follow the way things are going: The worse things get, the angrier they’ll get.
Oh so angry. I’m going to go to work and do my masters bidding tomorrow I’m so angry!
Those guys killed in slave uprisings must have been fucking cool as shit. Imagin how hard it must of been to stand up to these very same bullies, in heart, mind, and spirit, back then.
Humanity has been living in absolute monarchies for like 2000+ years, and they were angry about their life, but most of the times, people don’t rise up against their monarchs.
Ever wondered why?
Now sprinkle a bit of “freedom”, just enough to keep people content, so now the choice is:
Revolt and probably die
Or
“Wait until the next election” (if there even is a next election, most people just hope that there is)
And don’t say “go protest”, think about it: you stop showing up to work and go to a protest, you lose your job, and since most people rent, so they eventually get evicted, now you are on the street, dealing with extreme cold / extreme heat (depending on the season), you are hungry, fascist cops harass you for being homeless. Yea, its easy to romanticize revolution, but just put yourself in the shoes of the average person.
As corrupt as the elections can be, they are the only way to try to change things, that doesn’t involve getting yourself killed (or jailed and tortured).
(If the government actually cancels elections or declares martial law, then maybe we can get a revolution)
I’ve seen people through hard times and through “good times.” Life goes on. This strategy of waiting it out is always the wrong choice and maximizes the overall suffering of everyone. All just so you could have a few more years with a Netflix account.
I again challenge your premise: People are absolutely talking about it on a regular basis. It seems to be that you are living in a bubble. How many people do you even interact with and have open conversations with every day anyhow?

If you’re not angry enough to even mention it in your daily life, are you really angry?
Who the fuck said they aren’t?
You?
Fuck outta here.

How dare you challenge me. Jk, I’m not like a super social person but I’m glad your experience is different from mine.
Just your premise :P
