The libs need to feel the sting of declining material conditions before they'll be ripe for radicalization -- thus far, they have been fairly insulated from any consequences beyond a vague sense of discontent, or a dim awareness that some of their rights have been eroded away. Civil religion dictates that this will all blow over in four years when the bad orange king is gone and they go to the ballot box to ~~pray~~
for a new good king that will give them back their "rights," at least until the next bad king comes along.
They probably won't stay cowed forever, but if you're expecting direct action out of them, you're going to be waiting a while.
