Not for long, anyway.

I agree -- But they're looking into a Rapid Dominance ploy, and that means sacrificing long-term consideration for payoff [of victory] right-here/right-now.
IOW, they want to set up the new American order and replace "old America" with a hard real switch, and entrench there. They've been laying the groundwork for this with the manifold agencies, the Burearchy, and cementing their elite status now codifying their exemption to laws.
That you and I think that Americans have the will to overthrow this is irrelevant to what they believe: that they can institute their fundamental transformations and crush the will to resist.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
