USians have a *completely fucked up* frame of reference, because overall everything has been getting worse, slowly, for a half century. Boiled frogs and all that.
Every other fascist and authoritarian regime has taken at least ~10 years to go from "election victory" to "despot". Trump's a child with serious impulse control issues who wants what he wants NOW.
For example:
"Putin and Ukraine: be peaceful. Now. I said NOW, dammit!"
We're lucky AF.
