Because the people are to blame for the problem.
Typical victim blaming bullshit. In an inherently corrupt system like that of Gotham or IRL New York or the US in general, 90%+ of the people don’t really have any meaningful control over what the elite does with society.
To blame the oppressed rather than rebel against the oppressors is some useful idiot shit.
People can always rise up and overthrow their leaders. There are countless examples of this happening across the globe and time, the problem is too many are comfortable with their safety in the status quo.

Sure… Because overthrowing a government that doesn’t care about civilian casualties and is backed by the most bloated and over-funded military and police in the history of the world is TOTALLY doable! 🙄
Especially when the nominal political opposition cares more about norms and procedures than actually resisting fascism.
There are countless examples
None of them with an elite anywhere near as insulated from public pressure as this one, though.
the problem is
too manythe only ones with the power to fight it are comfortable with their safety in the status quo.
Fixed it for you.
Well, no nation can function without it’s citizens, else there would be no workers.
It’s much more to get a critical mass of people to act in the same way, because they’re fed up.
If that critical mass is reached it doesn’t matter how strong the military is. If they shoot everybody down, there would be no nation anymore.
But it’s hard to reach that critical mass, as politics like to divide an conquer, and let the people fight against each other, because they just blame a specific group of people for some problem.
It’s always the all over shadowing enemy, that is just a small minority we can hate eradicate easily, because they are weaker.
As long as people fall for the fascist bullshit, we won’t see any reasonable grass roots mass movements happening, because one group falls after another and so they all need to fight for themselves.
Maybe I got off track a little in the end, but I tried to sew it together still ;-)
