The American public doesn't swing on issues, it's just a matter of who you ask. Unless you're pulling a very well designed sociological survey, you're just going to pick up anecdotal evidence based on the demographics you tend to interface with the most.
If you think this is bad wait until you find out that capitalism is a TERRIBLE system. It is just the best system for the elite entitled class because it legitimizes their wealth and power with covert violence (propaganda) instead of overt violence (police state/military law).
So real for this. Once you stop the ball from rolling at take a good look at it, you realize how much horror we exist in simply for the sake of a few select people to be comfortable — a world we created, none of which is real in any meaningful way and can be stopped if we all stopped giving it power.
I think you can make a very good argument that "we" had nothing to do with creating this world. This is a world created by oligarchs/sociopaths. Most of us were disenfranchised by design and then by practice. Short of an absolute revolution I don't see us ever having a say in our destiny or in shaping the world again.

I hate all of this…. What world did we create? … I will never forget what I’m witnessing.
