Why does it feel like nobody outside of the government cares what’s happening right now?

Whenever I tell people what’s happening to the federal government right now they’re like “damn that sucks” and then move onto a different topic.

I’ve been trying to emphasize to others the implications of this and how it’s going to affect the rest of the country, the private sector, and the world as a whole. Our adversaries have to be laughing at us right now. Our allies are probably incredibly disappointed.

I wonder when the general public will start taking this seriously, if ever.
