They're already past that. People are appalled and horrified by JD Vance because of his misogynistic, Cristofascist comments but the threat that Vance poses from the cadre of "medium" AI tech startups is far more insidious. This new & improved Alt Right movement is gaining a lot of traction. They don't even bother hiding their agenda: they are openly stating that their goal is to dismantle democracy for the establishment of the Corporate State - one that protects the interests of the billionaire class because they truly believe they are anointed and entitled. In other words, they are saying that their vision for the New World Order is feudalism. We're seeing, in real time the transition from science fiction to reality taking place within just a few election cycles. You have a citizenry that is so ignorant and easily manipulated by slogans and propaganda, so distracted by symbolism and pageantry, tenderized over 4 decades to assume their role as useful idiots handing over the knife that slices their own throats.
