The incompetent handling of Ukraine is just one more symptom.
To put it bluntly, part of the post-WWII consensus was that bureaucratic "experts" should join with the business elite and politicians and form a ruling class "managing" American society. Elections were supposed to just be an acclamation of the ruling class consensus.
But the ruling class showed itself to be utterly corrupt and incompetent regarding the economy and conduct of war.
Trump's election panicked the ruling class because the American people showed they could choose a real outsider. So now the ruling class and their bureaucracy have just decided to rig the game and persecute any real opposition to make sure that never happens again.
We are all just stuck going along with the ride.

Not necessarily, I doubt there’s majority support for WW3. Sure they will continue to try and steal elections, but that will get increasingly harder to do as more people rebel against deep state policies. And this rebellion extends beyond Ukraine, let’s see them try and force another vaxx mandate. Something tells me that many who got suckered into it the first time won’t fall for it again. It takes a lot to wake up the masses, but it’s not impossible.
