You ask a good question. In wondering about an answer, another question keeps coming to mind. Do the people know how to take back their government? Do they have the slightest clue, or even the faintest old memory of the slightest clue? In a time now far away some 230 years ago, the founding law included a quite specific & clear provision for the people to terminate, remove & expunge it's government should it ever evolve to become grossly defective, oppressive and beyond hope for repair. Novel idea, huh? I can't think of a time when this rule was ever put to the test. Formal instructions were not included. The closest thing are the informal instructions in those faded memories, legacies and lore that many in the present might know as "that nostalgic revolution stuff?". Waiting around for the next 2 or 4 year voting cycle has nearly a century of cold hard repetitive facts showing over and over the present voting system is not a valid solution. Some people believe a person or people who keeps repeating the same process over and over, getting the same undesirable result each time but pressing on like a good little soldier in hopes that a different/desirable will eventually occur, is a definition of insanity.... like pounding rocks hoping to produce water. Without fail this only produces dust, but hey, keep pounding away, ya never know when a miracle may occur.
PS - i forgot to mention. You asked "why isn't somebody doing something?" My post was based on the assumption that if anybody is going to do something of worth in this matter, it's the people, and not the "they" nor the "them" nor the "somebody else, like our government/police/protectors/security forces that people tend to believe are always just waiting around to save us should the need arise. My hunch is, as far as "they" concerned, they are not likely to ever notice the need having arisen.
