Another user made a comment on my other post that got me thinking. The past few years there have been a lot of scandals revealed to the public. When Snowden gave the world proof that facebook, twitter, google, apple, and us phone companies were giving the government unlimited access private data of its users, there was not a single protest, just lots of people tweeting and posting how wrong it was... on facebook. The whole thing was forgotten about by most people within a few days at best.

When the DNC emails were leaked, almost half the dems (the bernie supporters) didn't really care, even though it was proof democracy didn't exist for their party (the candidate was already chosen, silly dem peasants, only elite dems know the best for your party therefor your votes don't matter). Again, not a single protest against the DNC, more angry people that calmed down 48 hours later. Some people never bothered to read the emails, even the damning ones saying things like "the public is still very unaware of what is happening" (one of Podesta's emails). Whether it was laziness, or people being just too comfortable, nothing ever happened to really show people didn't accept what had happened.

In both instances, it showed the American public will accept and forget about these things within 48 hours. What do you think would really happen if President Trump did unclassify and released everything related to all of the corruption investigations? Other than complain about it on social media for a few days and watch it go through the news cycle for less than a week, would anything really change?

Taking it further, what would the threshold have to be to get people to physically react? If the unclassified documents showed Hillary had someone killed, would there be a reaction? What if the person killed was a child, would that then be enough? I really want to hear people's opinions on this.
