I've worked and lived in a lot of developing countries. I can't shout into the void any more then I already do, that I've seen this a dozen times.
Colleagues of mine that lived under corrupt kleptocracies with things like massive state surveillance of average people for simply being in the wrong political party tell me how great it is that the US has finally caught up with them.
The commonality is that we have already, in 6 weeks, hit a point of it taking a generation to undo what's been done.
The people who aren't freaked out are either normal people that don't have a sense of what's coming and can't comprehend life outside the status quo, and those that think they'll directly benefit from it all.
