I don't think it's happening here in the U.S. because there has been some next level propaganda that both parties voters swallow whole. The voters are moving right just as the politicians and the two main parties are moving right. It's the boiling frog theory. The heat is being turned up incrementally and the frog is comfortable because it's a small increase, but nevertheless, the frog is still being boiled. It will be too late to tell when the frog finally boils. U.S. voters are "willfully" going along with the changes.

Our advocacy groups have let us down here in the States. Unorganized and weak on confronting representatives in a proper manor of meaningful dissent. Today they are for the most part quelled by the very objective measures they fight against, within, donations. The weakness often due to their reliance on a party that no longer fights with them, the democratic party. And any sense of a good protest that does happen is now marred with counter protest of violet opposition and of law enforcement. And like the case of OWS, law enforcement infiltrating the protest and creating the violence to emotionally quell the leaders from wanting to participate in any further marches. Which also lead to targeting the leaders with false unwarranted charges and arrest in those protest. While letting those coming in and becoming destructive to public property go free. It has become the norm here in the US to shutdown any meaningful sense of rightful dissent while allowing the right to create chaos, even when violence occurs. But having a peaceful march or sit down, you get arrested and pepper spray. Load a park or area with people who don't have a clue what the Constitution is about while banishing their assault rifles and numerous hand guns, crickets with all kinds of media coverage. Most often the only peaceful protest to get media coverage today are those that end up breaking out in chaos in which it can be turned back onto them as unruly. Divide and conquer has been achieved.
@William_Mary It's extremely easy to infiltrate a protest and give law enforcement a reason to shut it down and/or arrest people. Then again, when does a corrupt authority system want to have dissent against them? Is a "corrupt authority system" redundant?
