"people are arguing that the problem is that some people are very well off"
most people don't really care that some others are "very well off"... people care that corporations have become a massive part of the citizen's everyday lives and wellbeing, but corporations' only responsibility is to maximize profits for shareholders, and when the food is poison and the healthcare is unusable and there are greedy humans running those companies, THAT is what is pissing people off

not "mass support"... only half of registered voters "chose" Trump... because they just want change, and our system doesnt give us any actual choice

I think it's important for non-americans to understand "we" didn't really vote them into office. there were two choices put up that most of us didn't want... only about half of eligible voters are even registered to be allowed to vote... and those registered voters "chose" Trump 50.1 to 49.9.
then on Election Day the biggest google search was “is Joe Biden not running for reelection ?”
this is the freedumb that the right-wing thinktanks have been planning for decades
