The Sanders and Warren campaigns were based around the division of wealth problem, and they had large followings because many people (especially young people) are motivated by this issue. We saw this in the Occupy Wall Street movement as well. But this trend doesn't seem to be expressed violently, so far. Yet, the neo-liberal, trickle-down, free-market ideology is the nub and the cause of the current crisis, in all its aspects, and many people are aware of this fact.
I see the COVID and systematic racism issues (including red violence and Jan 6) as rising to the crisis level. Division of wealth? Yes, some steps have been taken, but that is not the focus to the degree that it ought to be. Where were the division of wealth protests last summer? I suspect COVID and racism will no longer be distractions come the next awakening. Division of wealth seems to be the next issue up.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
