Elites know there’s no revolt happening any time soon.
We're seeing the kind of street action that hasn't happened since the Civil Rights Era. We're seeing a reversal in unionization trends after 40 years of declines. We're seeing internal revolts in both major political parties, as well as bolder third party movements cropping up with sizable constituencies.
A lot of this shit is still plagued by grift. A lot of it faces intense hostility from mass media. But show up at any political rally in the country and you'll see people in the crowd with a mix of fear and anticipation, waiting for shit to pop off. I remember a Dan Crenshaw even from a few years back during which the question "What should we do in the event of another Civil War?" came up entirely unironically. And the Uvalde shooting has legitimized a new round of hatred for the police.
This pressure isn't entirely new. But the agencies traditionally charged with keeping the lid on have been worn down, both in terms of competency and in raw numbers. Revolts are already happening. Elites are already losing control. The rot is deep and we all know it.
