It is abundantly clear that the majority US doesn't want that, but want a corporate hellscape that makes sure the next generations suffer until finally our species end in a very embarrassing manner with two rich guys celebrating victory over all other humans before succumbing.
I disagree with you here. In part because humans have a natural sense of self preservation and this is counter to that.
I actually think it's far simpler; I think the divide between the ruling class (politicians) and the working class (those that have to work to live) has grown too far. People are tired of feeling like they are not being represented or listened to and feel pushed to extreme action.
The ultra-wealthy benefit from the current system and use their means to keep the working class fighting against each other and the ruling class distracted from their actual constituents.
