What is going on with there being no widespread protests in the US after Musks and Trumps actions?

"Elon Musk’s DOGE commission has seized control of Treasury payment systems and gained unauthorized access to classified USAID materials, while security officials who followed protocols were removed. Career civil servants across agencies are being systematically purged for having followed legal requirements during previous administrations. The president openly declares he won’t enforce laws he dislikes, while Congress watches in complicit silence." source
How can this happen with what feels next to no reaction of the public at all? If this happened here in Germany or France there would be huge protest all over the country...
