What “lulled people into inaction” was the realization that the Deep State would use surveillance technology to easily identify them and then persecute them as “terrorists”.

No it didn't, Qanon was a psyop that was ongoing for years. It successfully fooled enough people that a secret plan was happening and nobody had to do anything but "sit back and enjoy the show."

Nobody had to mobilize or engage in activism, everything would work out. The wall would be built, Hillary would go to prison, and Sessions would drain the swamp. Even people on Free Republic fell for this. I was told numerous times by people that "Trump knows more than you and he's playing 4D chess."
