It's not that no one noticed, it's for the most part, no one cared. And by and large, no one cares generally at all about actual freedom, or it's lip service at best.

As long as nothing gets in the way of Netflix, pronhub, TikTok or Instagram, the people of the United States will accept any level of tyranny you can imagine. You can even tell them what to put in their body..

Yeah unfortunately for a large majority of people, it seems you are correct. People only really fight tyranny when they're personally suffering from it, by and large. At least that self-correcting mechanism exists, it's just sad things have to get so extreme before many people start caring. If we just collectively looked a few steps ahead and had a better culture of understanding and wisdom, we could get somewhere. It's just staggering how few actually care about this though.
