Similar is happening in the UK, with govt crackdown on online activities and anti-protest legislation currently going through the process of entering the statute books. Soon it will be illegal to peacefully protest against anything. Govts don't like dissent in any form. Worrying times.

The founders thought they devised the best system of government possible to be run by humans. Three separate but co equal branches of government, checks and balances, etc. They figured at least one branch would be sane if the others ran off the rails for a little bit. The one branch they thought couldn’t be co-opted was the judiciary. Sadly that hasn’t come true. None of the insanity would be happening if we had an honest judicial system and judges who followed the rule of law.
