Fascism slowly rolling over America and people act like it’s normal.
It's happening everywhere, not only in Northern America. We were happy before 2020 and we didn't know it, but now it's over.
Trump, brexit, Hungary, Poland, (almost) France, Turkey all happened before 2020.
If anything it seems people look more outraged from this
They take advantage of, and manufacture outrage to gain power and manufacture more outrage to blame others while manufacturing even more outrage to get votes from the outrage only they can solve, but keep manufacturing.
That's because people support it.
As was pointed out, this isn't just the US. People everywhere are turning more and more towards populists, especially right-wing authoritarians.
