Yeah, most Americans are too cowardly, or dumb (or both), to do anything meaningful. They prefer to sit by and watch their country get demolished, because trying to stop it would take effort.
I mean, yes, that’s certainly part of it, but the other parts are that we (Americans) live among extremely well-financed and equipped (courtesy of military surplus) police forces who are obvious in their zeal to terrorize and extort citizens, while also being insulated by legal buffers like “Qualified Immunity.”
In most cities, the police take up 40-50% or more of the budget, and produce essentially zero benefits, but will always be enshrined because they protect the status quo and the top wealth layer’s property, and are willing to use force to ensure the most vulnerable are kept fearful and destabilized.
Particularly as the US has a no backsies law, which makes it illegal for any US state or territory to gain independence in the future.
It looks like a lot of US states are about to declare backsies.

California checking in. I’m working on it, there’s an effort to get it on the ballot.

The British Empire also had a no secession clause… oh wait
