Harvard scientists proved the US was an oligarchy about 15 years ago. It's old news and Americans didn't catch on until about 2024.

    What's changed now though is that material conditions have deteriorated significantly from 15 years go. People didn't really have a reason to question the system as long as they could make ends meet and have some hope for the future. Today, a huge chunk of population has been pushed to the brink, and young people have nothing to look forward to. And that creates disillusionment in the system which makes people a lot more aware of what's happening.
