I honestly doubt this is going to start a revolution. Bouazizi’s act catalyzed public anger against their autocracy, but people in the US live in relative comfort. People aren’t angry enough in a large enough group to have that level of simmering outrage, mainly because it isn’t happening to them.
And that is precisely why all of this corruption and all of this inflation and everything gets by uncontested.
Because, people still live in some sort of complacency. As long as not everything imaginable is taken from them, then the average American goes “okay, still good!”. They’ll just bitch and gripe on social media while having to work around their bullshit and sacrifice tiny crumbs of comfort, but not all of their comfort.
