Sure, everyone hates oligarchs. But oligarchs are up there and out of reach, and they are strong enough to retaliate. Instead, you also got these minorities, they're right here in the punching distance and they even may not hit you back.
This is it, this is how the billionaires make Joes fight other Joes and not the rich. This is why we have the cultural war and not the class war.
A united public could easily oust the oligarchs and put them where they belong (the guillotines). But that requires large-scale public co-operation and putting aside differences, something the American public is wholly incapable of. I don't think it would be that hard if that was required in Europe.
We’re not incapable, it’s just been thoroughly trained out of us. My dog doesn’t bite but he still has teeth.
