Thank you for this response. The temporarily-embarrassed millionaire is absolutely the blinders on our working class. Stepping back before Trump ran for his second term -- Politics felt like a solved game that people were refusing to think about for exactly that reason.
Most people can't afford healthcare. Most people can't afford childcare. Everyone wants more money. Why can't we all get behind one random person that says "I'll tax TF out of the top 0.1% and get us healthcare and food and raise your wages."
The answer is that people don't want to see themselves as helpless, even if to stand together and help ourselves. They feel less shame excusing their state as temporarily-embarrassed victims; and blame some secret conspiracy or invasion or what-not.
