Not exaggerating. Though not a keen student of history I’m not totally ignorant of it either. Germany was a caldron of political activity from 1918 until the Nazis took over, so one would think the average German would have been politically aware. In the US even active voters seem to be in a lala land head space that is hard to understand, one youtuber saying “I didn’t like the direction the country was going.” What does that even mean. Then there are those that “I don’t do politics” and “whatever - as long as it doesn’t effect me”. The US is guiding into authoritarianism with hardly a struggle.
