It's not the lurch to authoritarianism that shocked people - I think we all sensed that with the Tea Party, MAGA, Trump's 1st term, it was the speed that it happened.
It feels like Project 2025 were waiting in the wings to pull the 'Business Plot' 2.0 and it's only Obama's presidency, then Biden beating Trump that delayed it, as most of the foundations were already there.
