How the USA progressed into the terrorist regime

It started with Big Tech actually. The great, revolutionary "innovation" brought about by Big Tech was that the people who use their sites are not the customers, they are the products. In other words, the true purpose of Big Tech is not to provide service to people, but to turn people into targets of abuse, deception, and manipulation for the sake of profit.

This "revolution" was mirrored by government. Public officials realized the vast opportunity it provided them not to serve their constituents, but to exploit them, to sell them out. The purpose of government transformed from the provision of service to citizens in a society into a vehicle for their manipulation, abuse, and exploitation.  The attainment of public office became of vehicle to profit off corruption by being a broker for the manipulation and exploitation of the public they are supposed to represent and serve.

The third stage is the stage in which the citizens are no longer just targets of manipulation, abuse, and exploitation: They are enemies.  This was formalized under the Biden regime but was already in progress well beforehand.

This progression is necessary and logical for the regime because the ultimate result of the second stage is increasing outrage on the part of the citizenry. Thus, it becomes necessary not just to manipulate, abuse, and exploit the citizenry, they must become criminalized and vilified.
