Four in five Americans fear country is sliding into chaos, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

The wild part is that both sides think this, but for totally different reasons. The center all the way over to semi-Left we have in the US sees the danger Trump posses to democracy, his weaponization of the courts (even without being in power), and his disdain for the rule of law.

The Right (minus Republicans that aren't MAGA that I would put more center thanks to the shifted Overton window) think that the "radical Left" is trying to replace them with "brown people", and trying to make everyone "woke", and somehow make everyone a pedophile by having a drag queen read them a story.

The Right uses "FUD" to control their base, with only wanting power over people and having zero desire to actually govern (as seen with congress currently), and everyone else that is paying any attention is afraid of what that means for everyone in their lives that will be affected by this cult. And even once Trump is gone from this earth, it's going to take years of mental health crisis to try and bring these people back from a cult this large and powerful. This is the kind of thing that Scientology looks at just goes "sploosh".
