It’s just a symptom of the fucked up system we’re in. Something like >70% of the americans want universal healthcare. Having a representative instead of a direct democracy already neuters the population’s power, and then you throw in everything else like the first-past-the-post system that ensures two parties, and rich fucks controlling both parties easily, and thus both parties having no incentive to meaningfully help the population, and so on and so forth ad nauseam.
Blaming the population as a whole is accurate, but also denying the way the system is set up.

There’s also the propaganda problem. Americans have to be some of the most propagandized people among countries with a supposedly “free press”.
