One of the most powerful quotes I've seen about how this happens to a country and how this pivotal historical moment in America feels.
I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

Seriously. "New York is considering a ban that Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul said would be a way to combat antisemitic acts by masked individuals."
1) this is a bad law. the police and the state will use and abuse it to suppress protestors and dissidents and disabled people. 2) MASKS ARE STILL LEGAL IN NC. "the law allows people to wear medical or surgical-grade masks in public to prevent the spread of illness." [1/2]

"They're selling AI content and paying you to fix it, and at the same time they're sending you emails about how to write like a human so you don't trigger their AI detector," Cowart says. "It's so insulting."

Check out Tyranny (2017) by Timothy Snyder, illustrated by Nora Krug, a startlingly informative graphic non-fiction book about fascism and terror management that is hopeful but also a primer for preparing for the worst.
