Not totally accurate, there’s a huge group of people actively cheering all this on. Read opinion polls on this stuff, and the approval rate is surprisingly high.

Much of American seems to think we’ve elected Tony Stark Warren Buffett Jesus to save us from what seems so grim, and there’s a massive machine making money off that fantasy, perpetuating it. It’s what opposition doesn’t seem to understand, and a big differentiator vs old dictators.

I think that’s what historians will see. Not that most were apathetic. Many really care, but reality warped around us.
