I can well believe that the entire world is becoming dumb. But the US sure is leading the charge.

I would say that we're all equally dumb. If other countries don't see America as a warning sign and still vote far right, that's pretty fucking dumb. For example,

Brexit was a fiasco that was based on an unofficial vote and then somehow got pushed through.
How do the Russian citizens keep putting up with Putin? That started way before the US. Putin went to war with Ukraine and said it would take 3 days. Where are we at now?
China has a huge population, they go along.
Japan, how are you going backwards on rights for your citizens.

Bottom line, it's really hard to resist authoritarian regimes once they're in power. The propaganda alone is huge and the oligarch money is controlling everything.
