It started from the idea that both parties are the same and that your votes don't matter. If people really believe that then they think they have to tear that system down and stop it from ever happening again.

This is then exasperated by the amount of outside influence, internal forces such as anti-tax corporations, and algorithms polarizing people with the goal of toppling the US Empire, because the USA has powerful enemies whose own democracies eroded long ago.
