There's been rumbles for a while, whatever generation you want, of people coming together to demand change for the positive. If you look back, you can see events where a bipartisan group of people stood up to push back and division was sown to slap them back down... but that dissatisfaction and anger never really went away, it just settled down to a slightly higher level than before the event in question. Eventually, it'll build to a point where it's unstoppable.
I'll give some examples off the top of my head from just the twenty-first century, hopefully in order, but if not, it's unintentional:
Occupy (yes, it got painted as a lefty love-in, look into the early days)
The Tea Party
Gamergate
hell, in the early days at least, Black Lives Matter, before an "official" organization got ahold of it (don't forget, the initial movement started under Obama's watch), though that one was probably doomed to fall into race-baiting horseshit from the beginning honestly...
...and now MAGA. The latest inheritor of that anger, that dissatisfaction with the corporate oligarchy.
Will MAGA be the tipping point? Only time will tell.
I'm hopeful, but we didn't get into this mess overnight, so we shouldn't expect to get out of it overnight, either...
sidenote: I'm sure others can think of more examples, and older ones, no less, but I was a kid in the nineties, so I didn't exactly have the firmest grasp on politics.
