In general across all of history, Humans tend to be fairly compliant and passive towards the heads of their society. We're a tribal species after all, and the majority have ingrained desires to help each other and work together.

However, in nearly every single situation where the populace gets hit by some event that makes it nearly difficult or impossible to get feed themselves, house themselves, or fight off a plague they have either taken the choice to move else where (become refugees) or over throw their leaders and start over (so rebellion).

But that bar for "nearly difficult" is pretty high and the choice between becoming a refugee and a rebel is really based on realistic it is to perform each action. In societies where movement is controlled or restricted, they tend to revolt. In societies where the ruling state has a perceived insurmountable power, they flee. And it basically has to get tot he point where the average person's other choice is "whelp, guess I'll just die then."

Right now food is there and there are some options for those most in need. We're not at the stage where the choices are between fighting, fleeing, or dying. We're at the stage where we tighten our belts, cut expenses, and still have hope someone is going to turn it around. We're hardly at the famine stage here. We're not even at the "hungry" stage nation wide. Food is plentiful, if expensive. And if people have to choose between food, medicine, housing, and luxuries, we can still drop the luxuries entirely and possibly still cut back on something else too.

And our leaders and wealthy know this (sort of). It's why they campaigned on food prices and the economy. Eventually they will be forced to take action and do something about it. But that time isn't now. It won't be until people are down to choosing between food and shelter (forget about medicine and luxuries).

There's a reason why the phrase "bread and circuses" was invented: give the people just enough to eat and enough entertainment to be distracted and they won't revolt. That's too risky to attempt when you still have options. And we right now have TV and cheap entertainment. Practically every single person carries a phone that can play the entire collection of Earth's Entertainment if you look for it.

But once we get to that final stage where we don't have options other than to fight or flee, well we'll see which direction most people take. Looking at the US past, we've had migrations numerous times and several wars and revolutions (even if some were short lived) and armed conflict is not a stranger to these lands.
