Millions have died from their addiction, which is to say there are plenty of people who would choose death over change.

There are people who would rather be ill and die themselves rather than let the "wrong people" get something that they "don't deserve":

Without undermining your comment, so-called "irrational" behavior or dysfunction is universal. Addicts have always existed in all corners of the earth and will always continue to exist.
It's funny in these political unity fantasies it's only the right making compromises even after their landslide victory

You can have a mass population be wrong. A 'small' margin victory doesn't mean they are correct about everything, like laws of physics can change because the population is delusional.
Covid was just harmless enough to allow them to perpetuate their delusions. But a more severe virus, where they can actually see people dying next to them, it couldn't be ignored, would wake them up.
Even Koba learned to hate.
And, despite the last movie ending on uplifting note, the very end showed the humans in a bunker ready to attack again.
Nothing survives the fight for resources. In-Group/Out-Group.
It will take some real tragedy to bring Left/Right back together. Like a real (more severe) virus where Republicans are like "wow, we be dying, I'm all for distancing now, get away from me, where are the scientists, give me a mask".
