Yeah, for anyone outside the US (like myself), kind of scary to think how rapidly things can unwind.
If you look at America, which has many problems (some unique to it, and others it shares with many countries), the overall quality of life for Americans is much better than what you find in many other parts of the world. Yet many MAGA-ites act like America is a third world country, their enemies are numerous (both foreign and domestic), their rights are being stripped away and their society is on the verge of an apocalyptic collapse.
I think the reality is that many of these people have mentally locked themselves into this world view. One which doesn’t allow for reflection or acknowledging reality. That is very dangerous because the more their world view fails to meet reality the more violent they will become.
Accepting their value system is wrong is impossible because that is basically a social death for them. I don’t see how these people ever go back to normalcy without violence being forced upon them to bring them back to normal.
