The same can be said in the political realm, whether people vote or not, in the growth of the nons or nones or independents. People don't want to commit to any group or idea as much as they once did. I think that people know that the error or scandal or wrong-headedness of any group or idea can be shown publicly--whether true or even important--and just don't have the same skin to stand up to the pressure of looking bad. There seems a general tendency to want to swim in the ocean of undecidedness and temporariness. Maturity helps.
