Many people can discern between fantasy and reality

Yet Trump got elected once. We get the heroes we deserve.

I said "many", but in 2016 it turned out that the way the American election system works, meant that it wasn't enough.

Actually, if you think about it, movies such as Matrix just show us how impossible it is for the random guy to overthrow the dominating system. Even a badass such as Morpheus does not feel like he could do something without finding "The One". Seems quite consistent, not ironic.

Random guys like Ghandi and Mandela did quite well though.

I would't say that "random" suits those guys that much. You could say they were "The Ones" that were needed to make changes happen in their respective countries. So it can happen. Just not as often as those who wish for a change would hope.

The difference is that they didn't just wish for a change, they devoted their lives to making it happen. Apart from that, they really were just random guys who were eventually seen as "The One".
Neo needed to be pushed into his role. He himself only felt there was something going on, it was Morpheus who tracked him down, pulled him out of the Matrix, educated him and basically told him to do what he and his crew couldn't do themselves. He could as well have reacted like Cypher did, but then we wouldn't have had this fantastic movie
Navalny could be the next "One", if Putin doesn't kill him first.
