content: That's pretty simple. The Internet generation has as much attention span as a Vine video. It's easy to keep plowing the same rubbish until it passes because people, quite honestly, don't really care anymore. They may like to think they do, but they really don't. The government could literally kill the 1st and 2nd amendment tomorrow and you'd see a month long protest on foot and on social media, and once everything cooled down, it be back to business as per usual as soon as people lost interest in it. Think I'm making this stuff up? Do a few Google queries and if you can't find anything come back and vote me down. edit: typo
