the majority of usa populace. most folks in America believe in a just world where those who are good are rich and should be rewarded and those who are bad are poor and should be punished.

hence why when a billionaire breaks the laws nobody cares, but when a poor person steals food they should be locked up.

they also believe in zero-sum thinking, where if anyone gets anything it came at the expense of someone else. they have no concept of how economics and life actually works. just consumed by jealousy and bitterness and assuming if others didn't 'take' from them they would have more.

There is also the concept of the American Dream being sold to the people, with everyone being convinced they can "make it" if they just try hard enough and after they do they want to reap the rewards the rich are awarded. John Oliver summed the line of thinking up almost a decade ago: "yes, I can clearly see this game is rigged, which is gonna make it so sweet when I win this thing!" ^[1]
