Only that it's not the governments falling to facism, but the voters. Manipulated by propaganda on a unheard-before level... via the web
It's not the rights getting somehow magically lost. It's a push by lobbyists wanting to have more control over their workers/clients/customers/whatever amd who pay millions on pushing false narratives and propaganda... via the web
