I think the conversations with the average voter are going to be very fun in about 10 years. Asking how they traded "more common sense on COVID" and "not defunding the police" and "woke-dumb liberals" worked out after the authoritarians took over. Someone's gonna feel pretty dumb - or maybe not? Seems like a lot of people out there like that future.

They won't feel dumb. 10 years from now, the authoritarianism won't have taken full hold yet in such a fashion that these people you are asking will be upset about it or even have actually noriced. They might even be fairly satisfied at that point. 10 years isn't really a long time.
20 years later, the story might be different--but by that point the authoritarianism will be embedded and it will have started to come down on things that these people value... of course, the political and economic corruption might have become so blatant at that point the the reaction might set in a bit earlier. It depends upon how openly greedy and corrupt the "leadership" is.
Remember that in a lot of these 3rd and 2nd world authoritarian sh*thole countries, a lot of the people were originally behind the whole thing--it is how it all got started ITFP.
