This article of yours is exactly the point.

I'm not an American, just a concerned citizen of the world and it's starting to feel like I'm more anxious about the US's downfall than american people themselves. Your voice is clear and loud but is it shared among others in the country or is it a voice in a desert of silence? What are former presidents and intellectual minds thinking about all this? What are everyday people thinking? Is all this happening because american people never expected their democracy to fail and thus don't recognise the signs or is there more to it?

I'm reading news and articles everyday in hope of seeing some strong resistance but I find little or none. Is maybe the majority bored or fed up with democracy? Do they need some autocrat to "take care" of them?

I can understand russians and chinese falling for their leaders but americans? It's really incredible.
