Mostly because our ability to organize and unify against the wealthy is overwhelmed by the wealthy's tools to keep us factioned and distrustful of each other. Hence the necessity of the fascist enemy within rhetoric.
The problem is, we humans are simple emotional beings who are really credulous when it comes to being told stuff we want to hear, and the wealthy have crafted messaging catering to this bias and wishful thinking (hence "you are the chosen people and have to massacre all the others who are spiritual flesh-eating zombies")
That sounds way cooler to the lumpen-proletariat than "you're just another commoner, but if we work together we can topple the people who hoard all the stuff and make a fun themepark for everyone!"
ngl I'd turn against my fellow man if I, exclusively, was offered a couple mil untaxed income instantly from a billionaire

Dont go away. Coming up next on love Island...
Jail. If it is we legal it wouldn't be an issue.
You can't jail the entire 99% the hardest part would be there's only 1% to go around.
For sure. But the math of those that dont want to risk jail or death is like 99.9 of the 99.
What if I were to tell you we're larger than the cops too
I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying why it isn't done. No one wants to risk it. Or death.
Okay but that's the joke in the meme then
It's only a threat because class consciousness doesn't exist
You say the larger of the two, but the majority of the USA voted for fascism and an absurd number of people just stayed home. It's hard to grow a resistance when you simultaneously believe the simple folk are getting exactly what they deserve and asked for.
The same people who have historically bankrolled and controlled Republicans also run the Democrats. It's kinda hard to "fight the system" when the oligarchs are the system.
Then you would agree we should remove money from politics and...
Oh! Whats this? The DNC passed campaign finance limits in 2002 which were overturned by the conservative SCOTUS in 2010 "Citizens United" decision? Huh, wow, thats crazy. Have any Dems talked about this recently? All of them? All the time? Neat.

I'm not sure the majority voted for Trump considering all the election interference and Elon Musk's fuckery.

Not even a majority of voters, let alone a majority of Americans. Just about 30% of adults in the US voted for trump. We still outnumber them.
And 40% didn't think it was important enough to even vote
You've no idea why those voters didn't vote. Disenfranchisement has been turned to 11
Actually yes, a majority. Trump lost popular vote in 2016 but won it in 2024. IMO everyone eligible who stayed home is just as much complicit with Trump.
More specifically the number of Trump voters barely increased, but the number of people who voted for Kamala was millions less than those who voted for Biden.
49.9% isn't a majority. It's a plurality.
Trump: 49.8% of popular vote (77,302,580 votes)
Harris 48.3% of popular vote (75,017,613 votes)
He won the majority, unless you're counting spoiled ballots that accomplished fuck all against empowering dictatorship.
The definition of majority is a percentage over 50%.
49.8% is less than 50%
I'm sorry if this is a difficult concept to grasp.
77,302,580 + 75,017,613 = 152,320,193
77,302,580 / 152,320,193 = 0.5075 = 50.075% = MAJORITY
And thats me being generous, I honestly think every third party voter was complicit with the Trump victory. Didn't think I'd have to show work for somebody to understand basic addition, today.
Yes, the numbers work when you intentionally leave some out.
We had two options.
Clearly not, since there were votes for other candidates.
Define words however you want, that doesn't make it true. A majority is 50%+1. Anything less is a plurality. More people voted for someone other than Trump than those who voted for him.
Beside the point, the original claim was a majority of Americans, and that isn't even close to a majority anyways. Even with your funny definitions.
I would argue voting for a candidate you know will lose with certainty is not a vote for or against anything.
Cool definition. Still not a majority.
Voting stupidly doesn't turn a working class person into an owner class person. We still outnumber them, it's just that most of us have been tricked.
It’s hard to grow a resistance when you simultaneously believe the simple folk are getting exactly what they deserve and asked for.
It really shouldn't be since that's just the beginning, they'll be coming for everyone that says a single negative thing about the king and his cronies.

can't afford teeth in this economy
I'm vegan - I compost the rich.
It's OK, they consent to it by being rich.
Remember, even herbivores are opportunistic carnivores on occasion. ☺️

Because they taste like shit.
Better to leave them outside for the polar bears to eat so they stop starving to death.
