Any sci fi about impending water/resource crises?

Sorry, I should've been more clear, but the movement behind Trump (Pepe etc.) was a collective catharsis could disrupt and destabilize, an actual viable means of panic.

It's not just Wikileaks and Snowden etc that generated the distrust of the old guard, it was the lack of evidence in Iraq, the lies that brought the world there and stayed there, and how nothing changed in the region.
>Lack of progress
Occupy movement was the closest thing to a collective uprising, but it went no where as there was nothing to united all of the factions and at the end of it it became more fractured than when they began. Obama promised hope and change and delivered nothing; then again the world never lets anyone do what they truly want.
>Endless lies
its not just Clinton, although those two definitely didn't help their case. For years politicians sold the idea that the power rested with the people and that if they wanted betters lives, they could aspire to it, and the government would allow them to do so, but it was completely the opposite, people fought, work and strove to make a brighter future, but only the rich and powerful became the ones with true power. So what was there left to dream about? I think the American psyche was enamoured with the idea of Zombie apocalypse or total destruction of the society, so they could have that blank slate wherein one could build what they seemed to be a better alternative.
