That hits the nail on its head.
There was a time when the American Left pasted “question authority” bumper stickers on their cars. Today they say “believe” the government. When did skepticism become “domestic terrorism?”
I think it happened as they took power. Like the difference in behavior of the minority Muslim group that transitions to a majority.
They start by complaining about oppression and finish up wandering the streets beating people that don’t adhere to Sharia law.
Much like the gay movement here, now that I think of it.
