Problem is, I don't think they have the desperation needed to convert that energy into action. They lack the post-WWI economic devastation in Germany to convert. And their billionaire backers love the inaction on taxes and regulation, but aren't quite ready to fully shred the economy for political gain.
Once people start falling in love with fiction media, you get what humans have demonstrated in the Middle East. Constant chaos and nonsense arguing over anti-science story books and any leader can wave around the established symbols people were raised on in their childhood and garner a following - no matter how terrible the ideas are. Media itself is the cult of their chaos and they are conditioned to obey and flock when certain tone and style of media is presented to them (Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh - no matter how many times they are proven wrong, the tone itself is the signal).
It could be another outside media signal from anywhere, China or Russia, they still flock when it's in a nonsensical style with aggression overtones. It is incredibly dangerous that they have fallen into this thinking.
