Depends who you're talking about. The US population doesn't yet seem to be anywhere near that, indeed, which is very unfortunate, because the US government, on the other hand, seems to be on a pretty clear 1938 trajectory. What happens when the government turns into a completely oppressive regime before the people are desperate enough to organize against it? Nazi Germany happens, and World War starts, because the government will be so far ahead of the people that they won't be able to effectively resist.
If you don't think the US population is anywhere near that, then I assume you must agree how urgent it is for the US population to get there really fucking quick.
If you don't think the US government is anywhere near that, then I assume you're simply in a different information bubble than I am, because, uh... it's fucking bad out there, dude. I'm constantly checking in with American friends to make sure they haven't been fucking kidnapped and disappeared, and instead of telling me I'm crazy, they've got the same concerns and they're grateful that someone is looking out for them. I've got friends in Minneapolis. I've got friends in El Paso. I've had to check in with both in the last week. The fucking scary shit isn't just an imaginary hypothetical, it's happening in real time.
I agree that the trajectory does seem to be full mask-off nazism.
I also agree that the regime seems to be moving way more quickly than the population generally realises.
I am in a different information bubble, given that I'm an Australian never having visited the US. It's a train wreck I can't look away from, sorry.
From the outside Americans do seem to be either very unaware or very apathetic. Every week there are new headlines saying something like "new poll reveals that 52% of Americans worry that the economy may be on the wrong path", when it should be "100% of Americans are absolutely committed to jailing Trump and charging ICE officers".
That said, I don't begrudge any individual American for not taking action. If the same thing were happening here I would attend protests but I wouldn't endanger myself or my kids. I guess it really depends how close to home things got. If ICE were abducting neighbours that I didn't know, I might be out on the street with a whistle I guess.
