They will be, when it affects them personally.

Quote my boss, a Mexican living in southern California.

The cast majority of everyone i work with has opinions in line with that. The majority of people I work with are Mexicans.
It's been baffling watch them all cheer over the protesters getting shot or arrested. Just because it's LA and there's a weird hate boner for LA and San Francisco around here.

There's a meme out there that goes something along the line of "Nothing Ever Happens". This line of thinking is poison, as it doesn't take into account incrementalism. The fall into fascism isn't a single large step, it's many small steps until one day you've realized that you're no longer in the same place that you were, and that now, you're lost.
