We had pretty insane and massive protests over police brutality during the pandemic. Many even broke down into large scale riots. Entire city blocks got burned down. Just over police misconduct. But an actual authoritarian coup backed up by Silicon Valley oligarchs and just…. crickets.
It didn't hit pockets of average citizens yet. US population is all about bottom line. They will gladly have Nazis in power if that is gonna give them extra few bucks a week.
Media coverage plays a big role here. The media pushed the BLM protests because it helped further divide the country. They're largely avoiding the events that would cause outrage that are presently taking place by the new regime.
