I've come to the conclusion (based on talking with my family) that it's because they trust the institutions that govern society. If they were to accept that the institutions will never convict this pathetic piece of shit of a man for the many obvious crimes that he has done (or any other number of lib things) then they effectively have to accept that everything they have believed in their entire lives is a lie.
That's a tough pill to swallow, so they remain in denial indefinitely.
If you do have an awakening and come to the conclusion that the institutions that govern society are either: systemically broken and corrupt OR Fundamentally at odds with the creation of a just society:
....then on some level you have to realize that the responsibility is on you to get off your ass and fucking do something about it. Its much easier to either just be like them and keep believing the system will eventually work it all out and you just need to be patient and civil, or to be like most of us here and just shit post about it.

It's just like Abbie Hoffman said:
God that made me so angry. The real Abbie gave a speech about how young people were going to usher in a post-money economy on the stand
Listen to the cast production of the court transcripts, it's hilarious and inspiring (and engaging)
This, but also I would add:
