To me, far more than it being about skyrocketing inequality and concern about where people will land in the future (though this is certainly part of it), the much larger social problem is the flippant disregard for others displayed by the wealthy and powerful with little to no consequence.
Propaganda outlets like Fox, Newsmax, and OAN can only distract people for so long in the face of increasing cruelty hitting more and more of them directly, and with neither party* seemingly interested in reversing course (despite lip service to the contrary), it wouldn't be surprising should a growing number of people believe it's time to move beyond the soap and ballot boxes.
* I won't claim that both parties are equally at fault, but if group A sets a fire and pours gasoline on it, while group B remains content to sit and watch things burn rather than try to put the fire out, I'm not sure it matters.
