Because the US educational system is not made to give students the upper hand anymore, it’s meant to make yall obedient and dumb enough so that what’s going on politically could happen. An educated public would’ve never voted for Trump.

not care about their opinion

Adding to what other people said there’s volunteering for a cause you care about. It’s a great way to meet other people that share your values… be it helping with preparing meals for the unhoused, cleaning public spaces, planting trees, bothering your politicians, reading to elderly/kids/dogs, holding newborns without caretakers in hospitals, etc… look for your local organizations and reach out :)
