It would take famine or something similar. People have to become very uncomfortable for long periods of time. You have to break people down to that bottom level of needs not being met.
As long as McDonald's is open and HBO has a new show or season of something to talk about around the water cooler, nothing will happen.
Really, that's the biggest reason the 1% should try to prevent climate change on allow free basic healthcare. The biggest threat to their power is uncomfortable public.
I mean, Marx said the greatest enemy of the working class are those just comfortable enough to get by, who will never be the bourgeoisie but think of themselves as more or less on the same level. Basically the “temporary embarrassed millionaires” thing. So yeah, we won’t have any sort of class revolution until our toys get taken away.
Look back on all the news articles & reports about Trump threatening to do stuff about the Mueller investigation but never actually following through. Think about all the fury that susceptible lefties succumbed to, stoked by the Maddows and Rathers. Then think about Barr, mentioning how the President could have done stuff but didn't.
Y'all got played by a man who talks like a goddamned sixth grader delivering a book report for a book he didn't read.

That "so smart he's dumb" shit only plays in make believe.
Einstein had trouble in high school because of circumstances. He didn't continue to look stupid the rest of his days.
Trump's always been an asshat, will continue to be an asshat, and will die an asshat.
Right time, right place for a one in a million set of circumstances /= politcal genius.
The electorate isn’t mature enough to vote otherwise. We got 4 more years of Orange Julius, then eight years of AOC, then the Empire collapses into cities states while China and UAE fight over the rural wastelands.
