That's because they are keeping to themselves, waiting for all the fascism to blow over.
And they're mad at anyone who tries to tell them that they can't vote their way out of fascism.
More like mad at the people who refused to vote in the last election to try to prove a point, and landed us in this mess. You can't vote your way out of fascism if you don't vote.
Sure. But being pissed off at non-voters in the last election doesn't get you out of fascism either, waiting for a blue wave in the midterms is also a mistake since the controlled opposition are bought & paid for by the same people.
The only way to rid themselves of fascism is for everyone to put their tools down, go into the streets, and strike until Trump's paymasters have lost enough profit that he isn't worth the trouble anymore.
I'm not sure they're mad. They're just afraid. They're afraid to become a target. They're afraid that you're right and they are contributing to the end of humanity. They are afraid they won't be able to get ripe oranges in February. But until it directly affects their daily lives, they're content to turtle up and ride it out.
