45. I include apathetic complacent people

who can't be bothered to pay attention or get involved. They aren't necessarily republicans and there are lots of them. They are not bad people, but through their disinterest, they unwittingly let bad things happen.

If they realized what the stakes are, most of them probably would become engaged, but they are living in their own worlds and don't see the storm coming. At a different time in my life, I likely could be one of them.
