That's straight up USA becoming a totalitarian state.
How does the American population keep accepting this development without doing anything about it?
They don't accept it. Many do something.
You are talking individuals and small groups. And it's great that there is at least some resistance.
But the American population seen as a whole isn't doing anything. There are no massive demonstration outside the White House, ICE isn't blocked except in a few places.
So seen as a whole "they" the American population is largely accepting it seemingly with some 98% doing nothing, and only 2% is trying to do something.
Hats off to the few percent that do something, but it's depressing they are so few.
PS: The 2% is a guesstimate, based on that just 10% looks like a hell of a lot more than what we've seen in USA. 2% may even be overstating it. No kings had a decent turnout with an estimated 5 million. That's about 1.6% of the population, discounting people that are unable the number could possibly be said to be about 2%. Based on the most optimistic public number I know of.
Edit: Wow, I can only see the downvotes as people whining about how it's OK to do nothing. And me scolding them for it hurt their fee-fees.
Why aren't humans as a whole doing something about this? Why won't the human race just do something!
This is kinda on you btw.
No American politics are for Americans to decide. European governments don't even express an opinion, because it is considering meddling in internal affairs of a sovereign country.
Your strawman is wrong and stupid.
