Apropos of nothing in particular: you have to have a certain income & security to afford (and a tendency to idolatry) to be "inspired" by politics. Most people are surviving & want security & order in their lives. People vote defensively & realistically: prudential 'least worst'
This is actually the hope for pluralistic constitutional states: most people vote defensively and not ideologically. Most normal people have good friendships with friends with different politics or religions or whatever, if they have ever really discussed such things.
Anglophone countries are often criticised by their resident 'betters' for their political apathy (Australia had to make voting compulsory to compel interest) but there are worse things than ideological apathy if you look over the 20thC. You can be too 'politically engaged'.
You should all love the apathy that you have. At a certain point, however, we may reach the point where 'agreeing to disagree' is no longer possible & you are made to care. If that occurs, you may not like the 'inspiring' politics that results. Caveat all of your "Norms".
