US citizens aren't doing enough, but we aren't entirely just watching, thousands of people have been imprisoned for things like lighting a trashcan on fire during a protest, or charged with terrorism for breaking some windows, numerous well known activists have been killed or went missing since 2020. For it's entire history the US government and vigilantes with their backing have been murdering political opponents and subverting and co-opting political organizations, and our media landscape and political knowledge for many people has been completely distorted by propaganda. There are many despicable and racist people in the US, but many of us our doing the best we know how, and most don't have the opportunity to stand up and pushback in a sincere way without losing our job, and therefore healthcare and home.
