"The insidiousness of apathy...what I refer to as the sin of omission."
That's part of it, yes, but I think there's also a major Denial component: people have difficulty getting their heads around the true enormity of the situation we're in, because no other US Administration has ever acted like this before. Round here there's a political grouping called the Real Republican Party, comprising Republicans who do recognize all too clearly that this ain't the same old Dem/Rep political football game any longer, but a lot of the Reps I meet (and even a few Dems, including far too many in the Senate/Congress) seem incapable of realizing it. What's needed is a bipartisan effort to pull the country back from the brink.
