Why has America become/is becoming an apathetic nation?
I think apathy is in the eye of the beholder. But as a nation, the US has politically and socially become a much more divided country than in the past. It looks like from now on, most iusses are so evenly divided between pro and con, for and against, that it might seem that nothing can ever get done without a majority, or one person’s vote might not mean anything or count for anything for that matter. In an evenly divided country between Democrats and Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals, it is easy to feel marginalized by such a 50/50 composition.
