I think that makes this even more accurate. Authoritarians can only take over a democracy due to just how angry people are with the current establishment. MAGA is the same way, it's fueled by people who can FEEL that something is terribly wrong with the world, but aren't smart enough to know why. Hate and anger is a large part of it, but the weakness and complacency of the current establishment isn't making it any harder for them. I remember a lot of people voted for trump in 2024 just cause he sounded a lot different than the usual guys. More disruptive and up-front about his thoughts. In actuality that's because he has no respect love for anything except money, but they were too delusional to know that.

All they needed to say was "We are different and we will govern stronger" and people were tricked into thinking that meant they were better.
