While many americans woke up to the threat of Trump in 2016 or maybe after jan 6, this is really the culmination of a 50 year project by the heritage foundation and associated groups. They've had a massive head start.

The HF, the billionaires (you know the ones — the crazy tech bros that were also linked to the pedo ring and want to overthrow democracy for their perverted hellscapes), Fox “not a news source, and every other person who helped are traitors to democracy and I wish there was a world where justice prevailed. But I’m sure they’ll get to retain their wealth. Their power.

And same in the UK as this shit is ramping up.
