I'd say a LOT of people care about the topic. The "few people who care" are those few who uncritically buy into a politician doing blatantly politician things.

Are you sure? I know a few very vocal people who care a lot. The vast majority don't seem to have any opinions other than what is the current fad. (though sometimes the vocal people get these people to care and so it looks like more - but the majority are following without critical thought)
