TBH I was overly brief there. As things get worse and worse it seems pretty inevitable the complacency will dissipate. Unfortunately, the other half of America is onboard, more organised and has the levers of power, so it's most likely too late now.

The Iranian thing might not work either, depending on what the armed factions do. So far they've been obedient, and the latest is that they've forced everyone back home pretty well. It's more that people don't want to get hurt.
