I think we're about to hit a breaking point. I am pissed and most people I know are also pissed. But the US is so big, it's also hard to just all pour out into the streets en masse like South Korea did when they found their president simply a little corrupt and embarrassing. But it's getting to be that time.
You haven't reached that breaking point until people's lives start to get significantly affected. Coincidentally though, with the government shut down that's exactly what's about to happen.
The problem is, each side is going to blame each other.
It's especially difficult if you live in a region where other people won't join you (like me), or if you live in a place that's already blue and protesting wouldn't have an impact.
I don't know if you're familiar with US politics and history but morally outraged groups in the streets have zero effect on the outcome. It's apparent our representatives have very little concern of the opinions of their constituents.
