I guess this is a naive question, but where are the lobbies that care about the people? Or even common decency at this point? It really feels like people are treating the US less as an investment and more like a sinking ship to abandon. And they were the ones that shot the holes to begin with.

There aren't any, everyone's out for themselves, further diluting any soft power the masses had. After like 99% of the population doesn't have a stock value associated, might as well join the Mobile Infantry at this point.

There are plenty. The issue is funding thus even cumulatively have less impact than say, APAC.

Also "the people" have a lot of different things they individually care about, and aren't well organized around those either.
