complicit means compliant, accepting of the futility of struggling against disagreeable edicts.
I don't accept the term, but I see where you're getting the view from. people generally need a stronger push to motivate them when the problems are political. we've all been disempowered by lack of the means to effectively have our voices heard. Party politicians tend to think they're always right because they exist in an echo chamber with each congratulating each other on a job well done (Angus). they don't listen, so whats the point in protesting.
but protest they will as shown yesterday. and the more Trump pushes back they more the protesters will push harder.
compliant or complicitous they will not stand by quietly.
