More like around 75 to 80% of our species and that's around 85% of women and 66% of men are naturally passive and submissive towards authority. This will vary depending on one's culture and American culture is certainly more rebellious and questioning of authority than many other cultures like China but in general if you look back in our evolution the vast majority of the people are followers and not leaders.
Often hundreds of people could be kept in line by just a few people in charge it's just kind of wired into a evolutionary makeup. Now if we had food shortages or other things that pushed us to the brink and activated our sympathetic fight or flight response to an extreme degree then the masses would revolt.... But as long as tummies are full comforts are met the bread and circuses are there people are generally going to go along with it.
I think we wethered it pretty well for the most part people rebelled against the covid policies and they've been non-existent here since last fall. There is a grassroots effort to oust leftists from power at the local level right now and people have shown they didn't want to put up with it.
Too much good life. Spoils people rotten.
They start having too much to lose and 'd rather protect their lifeholes, than risk any changes.
Good times
Produce weak men

Bad times

As I said - too much good life. Russian have saying - heads spin from too much fat. Meaning, people go nuts from too much fat life.
You want to fix it? Send all Americans age 15 through 25 for about 3 years, without any chance to return back, until term expired, to some hell hole on the planet. With no money, passport, no cell phone, no embassy to protect you. Whoever survives, will kiss the dirt here after return. Best cure for sissyness.
I would say starting with Reagan, but the attempts at making Americans into this have started earlier, but never stuck until Reagan. It reached its greatest acceleration in the 90s which is when the Millennials became more susceptible. And they are the first generation to really be under control and be bullied.
Did it happen under Reagan or was it before? We are so quick to do whatever any corporate sociopath executive or lifelong politican tells us to in record numbers.
It's happened ever since corporations were ruled to be people, too. Allowing corporations to donate to politicians made things further worse.
I don't know when it started but we didn't used to have much reason to mistrust government.
I first noticed it in the "weapons of mass destruction" fiasco--wasn't that Bush? That's when it became really obvious. After that we should have known we'd get someone like Trump.
The easily controlled people you’re talking about are liberals, not Americans.
But liberals in my state got tired of Republicans controlling telling them by telling them they can't have so much as legalized medical marijuana, so they got together and shocked the nation, including NORML, by passing the most liberal medical marijuana program in the world. Now Republicans would like to make it harder for the people to revolt against their control.
I would advise far right conservatives not to move to Oklahoma, since liberals and RINOs there are sometimes successful in using the petitioning process to overrule you.

I don't recall America getting pushed around under Reagan or any president until Biden was installed. In less than a year and a half the oblivious fool in the White House has sent up smoke signals that this is now a soft open borders nation where laws are not enforced and anything goes.
I figured Biden would be bad but never imagined he would do as much damage as he's done in such a short period of time.
But I never thought Americans would be so quick to sit down, mask up and lock down without question as they've done the last couple of years. I honestly never saw that coming.
I've thought a lot about it though - and my conclusion is that Trump broke the left ... and badly. The left wanted so badly to listen to anyone who wasn't Trump that when the CDC and Fauci said to jump, they said "how high?" And jumped ... over and over again.
People are morons.
Most people are not morons. Many people have come to conclude mask mandates was an experiment that miserably failed. Hospitals got overwhelmed, anyway. So, no more mask mandates coming in most states, even if there is a covid upsurge again.

Is this a marketing strategy change from you people chanting "Death to America?" Good move. This will resonate with the Anti-American rightwing. FYI, this is not the best place to advertise your hatred of the US. Your message is already accepted here. Waste of resources...
