What strikes me the most is that in the 2000s everybody saw Bush's totalitarian impulses coming. He was dangerous, but in the end he was a paper tiger, because he didn't have much moral strength.
Biden's totalitarian impulses seem more dangerous because they are hidden below layers of good intentions. It started a couple of years ago when the radical left took good fights (poverty, solidarity, environment) and distorted them to produce gibberish doctrines that end up doing the exact opposite of what they're meant to.
The uniformity between media, Hollywood, big tech, big companies and politicians is also extremely scary to me. Uniformity is the prelude to bad things.
Again, I'm just some French dude, I'm far away. So maybe I'm wrong. As Jimi would say... who knows?
