Most Americans believe the system is rigged against them by powerful elites | Opinion

This op-ed from FrameWorks’ senior vice president of research, Andrew Volmert, and CEO, Nat Kendall-Taylor, helps explain Americans’ unexpected response to the killing of United Healthcare’s CEO, Brian Thompson. Support for his alleged killer has been trending on social media and has been widely covered in the news, reflecting a deep frustration with the American healthcare system that is really rooted in a broader cultural mindset that the system is rigged. 

In the piece, Drew and Nat make the case that this mindset is too dominant and too widespread among the American people to ignore. As they noted, “The good news is that if systems are rigged by people, they can also be unrigged by people. Doing so will take considerable time, effort and resources. But understanding the “system is rigged” mindset ‒ and channeling it in productive and worthwhile directions ‒ is the way to start.”
